Silly SCA related stuff

Thanks to the help I recieved over at Italian Renaissance Costuming on yahoo groups, I managed to find out where a painting I was looking for was located and that I was NOT seeing things. :-)

The painting is this one by Lavinia Fontana:
http://www.allposters.com/-sp/The-Gozzadini-Family-Posters_i4038934_.htm

It's housed at Pinacoteca Nazionale di Bologna but the museum webpage doesn't have a big picture of it. I really want a zoom up of the dog. Not just because it's terribly cute and looks like Miss Ginise, but, with confirmation from [livejournal.com profile] florentinescot, because the dog is wearing earrings. Yes, the dog is blinged out.

I remembered this painting from ages ago and had trouble finding it again because all I could remember was giggling over the dog have better jewlery than everyone around her. (Didn't give me much to go on. I remembered the table, the type of dog, and that everyone was in 16th c clothing but I saw this about oh...15 years or so ago?) So, yeap, I found it again. :-) Now just to get a decent picture of the pup and add it to the collection of "Dressing your pup up is period, see?". :D
