"Slashed: A Glimpse into the Fashion Evolution from 15th to 16th Century" Step back in time and explore the captivating world of fashion through a series of intriguing artworks. From Giovanni Antonio Boltraffio's "Portrait of a Youth" to Friedrich Hottenroth's depiction of German dress, witness the transformative journey that clothing underwent during this era. The 15th-century male costume, engraved by Friedrich Hottenroth, showcases intricate details with its slashed fabric technique. This style became an iconic trend across Europe, as seen in Sir Richard Beaumont's attire and the mysterious Fragment (Cut/Slashed) from Italy. In Workshop of Cornelis Engebrechtsz's masterpiece "The Adoration of the Magi, " observe how slashed garments were worn by both nobles and commoners alike. The delicate slashes add depth and texture to their outfits, reflecting a sense of opulence and sophistication. Moving forward in time, Thomas Hudson captures John Van der Wall in his portrait dating back to c. 1745. Although fashion had evolved significantly since the 15th century, remnants of slashing can still be observed on his attire – a testament to its enduring popularity. Antonio Rimpacta's "The Holy Family with Four Saints and a Female Donor" transports us back to c. 1510 when slashing was at its peak. The intricately cut fabrics adorn not only the saints but also the female donor herself, emphasizing her high social status. Jan van Scorel's "Adoration of the Magi" further exemplifies how slashing transcended borders and cultures during this period. Witnessing these elaborate costumes allows us to appreciate how fashion served as an expression of identity for individuals across different regions. Lastly, Alonso Sanchez Coello immortalizes Don Juan of Austria in his striking portrait from 1559/60. His regal appearance is enhanced by carefully placed slashes on his clothing, symbolizing power and prestige.
