The book is just a notebook size, but has a good variety of prints and patterns.teemuhttp://urban-patterns.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336819106402580219.post-28723050600953090732011-03-04T13:37:02.658+00:002011-03-04T13:37:02.658+00:00I'll go to the National Gallery to have a look...I'll go to the National Gallery to have a look at this book. I remember writing down that I was very impressed with patterns in many pre-renaissance & renaissance paintings (as well as in mannerist paintings: see Bronzino's clothes and fabrics) when I visited a few years ago. <br /><br />If I remember well some patterns move across the painting i.e. the patterns won't follow the pleats or the fabric, but rather symbolise it. There are also gold on gold patterns in background (the gold looks like it has been "carved" or incised)... There is a whole decorative/ornamental aspect to this kind of painting which I have only seen elsewhere in Japanese prints!davidikushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01122152277968126355noreply@blogger.com
