Silk Gold Crimson.Secrets and Technology at the Visconti and Sforza Courts ( Silk in Lombardy.Six Centuries of Production and Design /1,Edited by Chiara Buss . This volume, the first in the series Silk in Lombardy. Six Centuries of Production and Design, contains the impressive results of a study devoted to Milanese gold-and-silk textiles woven between 1392 and 1535. The fascinating research planned by Istituto per la Storia dell'Arte Lombarda and conducted in collaboration with nine European institutions has revealed, through a wealth of technical, scientific and archival data, the true excellence of the working techniques involved, and identified as Milanese several textiles held in European and North American collections whose manufacture had never been established. Approximately fifty gold-and-silk fabrics made in the workshops of the Duchy of Milan during the Visconti and Sforza time, together with a number of important artifacts, exhaustively document the close link between luxury crafts and the development of a new silk industry characterized by diversification, rapid achievement and unmatchable quality.Language : English text - Coll.
