As we get ready to don Halloween costumes, Mike Norris, Ph.D. gives us a look, through fine art, at how Medieval peasants and nobles dressed.
DUE TO THE STROM THIS PROGRAM WILL NOW BE VIRTUAL. Please register and the link will be sent to you.
We'll look at styles from hats to heels, and from unmentionables to the gaudiest outer layers, to get a sense of everyday fashion for noblewomen, peasants, and everyone in between. Medieval paintings, sculptures, and tapestries will guide our eye, especially examples from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
About the Presenter: Mike Norris, Ph.D. of Armchair Art Tours got his BA in classics from the University of California at San Diego and his MA in classics and Ph.D. in art history at the University of California at Santa Barbara. He spent twenty years at the Cloisters Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and has lectured on trips all over the world. He lives in Teaneck, New Jersey.
