The ancient Greek arts and legends had the farthest-reaching impact to western art histories. In the beginning of 15 century, Humanism started to be a ideological trend, European artists tried to focus on the human life topics more than religion topics and tried to reappear the glory of ancient Greek art style. So it called” Renaissance”. Greek art presented nature anatomy, but Renaissance style are much more complex. Renaissance artists learnt to use their point of views and feelings to exaggerate the objects a little bit to express their metaphors. It was the most important and glamours period, so that the style of Renaissance influenced many art styles in hundreds years, such as Neoclassicism and Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. But one thing we have to admit, as basis and influences, Greek arts and anatomy system gave art birth.
Let’s go back to the outfit…Isn’t cool to mix the painting from different period together? You could see the common details and differences. I use accessories in deco style to make the whole outfit just look like a gallery. Just like I said before, being a motion gallery is one of the coolest things!

This french style cafe was the background which I took these shoots. We came across this cafe by accident and it amazed me. The first room they sell coffee and desserts, the second room is a mini book store and wine shop, the third room is a little studio of hand making bags. Nice music, great food…it is great place for relaxing and reading.

Wow that dress is going to make me cry. I love renaissance art in clothing, I think it’s beautiful. I think I saw a Bosch work on a skirt once and I drooled over it for months on end. If only I had a skilled screenprinter on my side like the pros do. Sigh…
