Transport yourself to 16th century Venice, where the air is filled with mystique and elegance. Picture a Venetian man adorned in a lavish costume, but behind his charming facade lies a dark secret - a tale of betrayal unfolds as he tragically ends his wife's life. Fast forward to 18th century France, where fashion takes center stage. A fashionable woman known as Merveilleuse captivates all with her impeccable style, while an Incroyable exudes an air of nonchalant coolness. In this era, even young women and small boys are effortlessly chic. The Count of Vergennes stands tall as captain of the Gardes de la Porte du Roi in 18th century France, embodying power and authority. Meanwhile, Venetians don bauta masks that conceal their identities amidst the vibrant streets painted by Canaletto. Travel back to rural France in the 17th century and witness the simplicity of peasant life captured beautifully by Jean de Saint-Jean's print. On contrast, a woman dressed in town costume showcases her refined taste from that same period. Immerse yourself further into history with a glimpse at a standard bearer for arquebusiers during the 17th century or catch sight of King Louis XIV himself in regal splendor during 1701. Finally, encounter a young nobleman hailing from Low Countries depicted by Adriaan van der Venne's skilled brushstrokes - his attire reflecting both wealth and status.
