The Fascinating History of Venice Mask Making!

[@tuanjim799]

I really love the aesthetic of Venetian masks. There’s something so haunting and spookily beautiful, even trippy about them. Does this visual style/aesthetic have a name, or like is it inspired by some particular school and/or era of art?

[@artrageousnate]

Feel the exact same way! Not sure of the deep history, but the idea was to create a way to hide identities for all sorts of reasons from political to parties. Basically a way to put everyone on the same level. I do know the strange look and shape of the most famous masks comes from the plague doctors who wore them. They hoped the mask would keep them from getting the disease. I imagine it didn’t help at all!

I adore the Venetian masks. I have even began collecting, with 3 (or 2 if you dont count a mini keychain version) so far

[@artrageousnate]

That's awesome! Since visiting this studio, I have a couple already. I get attached to things when they have a great history/story behind them. Thanks for watching and the feedback!

[@jinnibottle1039]

i love it!! very interesting documentary! whats the name of this paper?

[@artrageousnate]

@@jinnibottle1039 thanks! Not sure what you mean by paper?

[@jinnibottle1039]

@@artrageousnate i meant the paper used in production. but ive found it already, its called cartalana

[@joym3357]

wonder what type of glue they use

[@artrageousnate]

I believe he told me that (or at least I know I asked) so let me take a look. It wasn’t anything special is what I remember. The paper, however, was by far the secret ingredient! Thanks for watching btw!

[@StormVoyager]

[@TheMuseSway]

Damn, didn't think the Mandalorian was into making more types of masks. :p 😜

[@artrageousnate]

Haha! Would love to do an episode on masks in Starwars.
