Costume in Sacred Art,XV to XVII c. The costumes in early devotional paintings hardly give any correct information on the costume of the times.The Saints and Biblical figures portrayed were often arrayed in magnificent robes based somewhat on reality and mostly on fantasy of the artist and his imagining of what the saints might have worn in their day.Since documentation and knowledge of historical costume was basically non-existent in the XV and XVI centuries the artists gave their imagination free reign and so produced some magnificent costumes.The main line and silhouette of the clothes were usually based on the fashions of the day and so a German painter might paint a Saint in the latest German court fashions,a French artist in French and so it is easy just by looking at them to discern where a painting originated.The fantasy came into play into the details,an eastern crown,feathered hats and curious headdresses adorn the saints head while their bodies are wrapped in voluminously draped robes sometimes imitating Byzantine dress or the artist's idea of what might have been worn at that period even though it was often wildly inaccurate.
