And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Portrait of Marchesa Maria Serra Pallavicino by Peter Paul Rubens (1577 - 1640). The Marchesa should be proud of those clothes. Amazing stuff.
My first thought was she just got back from the veterinarian. Also, that dress was later used to cover one of the Apollo lunar landers. On a serious note, I suppose back in that day this was considered the epitome of beauty.
Clothes make the man. They really do, that's a fact. No clothes make the woman. Another fact. I have never seen a woman and noticed what she was wearing except to the extent it exposed more of her body. My favorite "dress up" outfit for a woman is her panties and my tee shirt. And I want my tee shirt back.
Head on a platter.
ReplyDeleteIt was a bizarre fashion
ReplyDeletedoes she have rabies?
