Morning Modelbuch (8/16/2019)

I was going through Margaret Abegg’s _Apropos Patterns_ to check on something else and ran across the sentence, ” Pellegrino’s designs may have been the source of almost identical moresques on the embroidered cloak of the King in his portrait by Clouet in the Louvre.” After not registering The Louvre, and looking up Francois Clouet portraits while wondering which king? I reread and realized it was Jean Clouet and Francois I that were intended. It did point me to some other portraits that we will look at later, so me having mushy brain worked out alright.

For today, here is Francesco Pellegrino’s _La fleur de la science de pourtraicture Et patrons de broderie. facon arabicque et ytalique_ published in 1530 and Jean Clouet’s Portrait of Francois I, also dated around 1530.
