How did their clothes look like, since the patterns were the same as for furnishing? The textile scraps that have survived till our time are unfortunately few, but paintings come to our aid. And thanks to them we can now discover which were the patterns of Italian Renaissance fabrics.<\/p>\n<h3>The patterns of luxury upholstery and clothing fabrics during the Renaissance<\/h3>\n<p>Between approximately 1400 and 1600 the motifs which had been popular during the previous centuries kept on being used, with a difference, though: they were much <strong>bigger<\/strong>. In this period, the rich liked boasting their wealth, and they did it by widening the patterns of their textiles, too, or by putting gold and silver threads in them. But they chose new patterns to show off, as well, easily recognisable, like those on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/en\/clothes-of-venetian-senators-in-the-1600s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">clothes of Venetian Senators<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Pomegranate &#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.19.17&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3>Pomegranate pattern<\/h3>\n<p>The most popular one was the so-called \u201c<strong>pomegranate<\/strong>\u201d pattern, but don\u2019t let the name fool you: it doesn\u2019t show just this fruit, but rather pine cones and lotus or thistle flowers, too. Persians considered pomegranate a symbol of fertility and immortality, and this meaning spread to the West right during the Renaissance. It was favoured among ladies, too, who associated it with an image of renown and wealth. Indeed, you can see it in all its splendour on Eleanor of Toledo\u2019s dress, as portrayed by the Bronzino (around 1545). Here the pomegranate has another meaning, too: it\u2019s one of the symbols of the Spanish court, from which Cosimo I de\u2019 Medici\u2019s wife came.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Velluto-Ardis-gardenia.jpg&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; animation=&#8221;left&#8221; sticky=&#8221;off&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_duration=&#8221;500ms&#8221; animation_intensity_slide=&#8221;10%&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.19.17&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Ardis Velvet&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.19.17&#8243; background_color=&#8221;rgba(218,221,221,0.52)&#8221; text_font=&#8221;||on||||||&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/en\/project\/ardis-velvet\/\">Ardis Velvet<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Bronzino-Eleonora-di-Toledo-con-il-figlio-Giovanni.jpg&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;off&#8221; use_overlay=&#8221;off&#8221; animation=&#8221;left&#8221; sticky=&#8221;off&#8221; align=&#8221;left&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_duration=&#8221;500ms&#8221; animation_intensity_slide=&#8221;10%&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; show_bottom_space=&#8221;on&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;coats of arms &#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.19.17&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3>Mottoes and coats of arms of noble families<\/h3>\n<p>Embroidering <strong>mottoes and blazons<\/strong> of one\u2019s house on fabrics was another way to express one\u2019s power and signal the family one came from.
