TOP CAN'T-MISS MOMENTS in "Painted Cloth: Fashion and Ritual in Colonial Latin America"

Mermaids and Incan princesses stitched on Indigenous dresses. Painting techniques that faked the look of fabric. Silk threads covered in silver on a priest's chasuble. Artificial beauty marks that could cure migraines.
Go inside the exhibition "Painted Cloth: Fashion and Ritual in Colonial Latin America” with Rosario I. Granados, the Blanton's Marilynn Thoma Associate Curator, as she takes you through the moments and details you shouldn't miss.
"Painted Cloth: Fashion and Ritual in Colonial Latin America" features 17th- and 18th-century paintings, sculptures, and clothing from across the Spanish Americas. On view at the Blanton Museum of Art through January 8, 2023.

The rendition of lace and fabric, the flowers, the human subjects in the inspirational painting for the program is magnificent…on a par with any of the great Renaissance artists. The embroidered vestment is also magnificent…what skill!!! To see the indigenous pieces was very special. Fantastic exhibit.

Great video with excellent explanations of some of the pieces ! I've been to the exhibit 5 times, I think it's so wonderful and every time I learned and saw something new. The best!
