HISTORY OF FASHION IN THE ARTS OF THE LATE 19TH CENTURY

Paintings, sculptures, fans and period dresses will trace, in the rooms of the Züst Art Gallery, located in Rancate in the near Ticino, a crucial phase in history of fashion.
In the late 19^th century women felt the need to “be fashionable” even outside their own homes.

It’s the paintings by great artists such as Giovanni Segantini, Gaetano Previati, Federico Zandomeneghi, Giuseppe De Nittis and many more that illustrate the rapid and surprising evolution of women’s clothing, and therefore this key moment of history of fashion and costume.
Their works will be displayed in the exhibition “DIVINE CREATURE. The woman and the fashion in the arts of the late nineteenth century”
