About the author
You would probably be rather surprised how many things you can still find from Elizabethan times in your close environment if you just look for them; and sometimes you might stumble over interesting oddities. Churches and museums are great sources for such studies, as well as some movies and, of course, paintings, this is why I will show them both on this page.

The London Studies

In March / April 2007, I have been to London, studying costumes and history in various museums. Though the links for the single museums and studies are also given below, here's one comprehensive link for everyone who would like only to see this particular part of the site:

(Not just) Elizabethan costume in the movies

My thoughts on some movies and TV series can be found here.

Paintings

Elizabethan fashion in paintings is often a very good source for studying. Here are some paintings sorted by person; I will add other persons over time in different galleries.

Elizabeth I.

Mary Tudor

Churches
I have the luck to live in a part of Germany which always was the biggest fruit producing area of our country. The people here are quite traditional folks, and the churches in my area are some of the oldest and best preserved ones in Germany.

And even if I am not a Christian, I decided to take some time and photograph the pictorial evidences of Elizabethan everyday life which can still be found around and inside those churches.

Here are the churches I have visited and studied. Clicking on them will bring you to a new page where you can see the pictures that show German art from Elizabethan times:


Church in Gruenendeich


Church in Steinkirchen


Church in Mittelnkirchen


Church in Hollern

Contact: Please write to naergilien@yahoo.de with the word "Costume" in the subject line. My mail server will delete all mails automatically that don't have this word in the subject line; except if you are on my whitelist (which you are probably not if I have never written to you).
It may take me some days to answer - please be patient. If I shouldn't answer within a week, it's almost safe to say that I didn't receive your mail (for what reason ever) - in that case please resend it.

All images of my costumes and also the tutorial pictures as well as the descriptions of my work and various techniques on this site are copyrighted to me.
So don't take my pictures for publishing (e.g. other websites, books etc.; no matter if they are commercial or not) without asking me before you do so and especially not without getting my permission to do this.
My server is mostly set up in a way that it doesn't allow hot linking on images; so if you need to link to me, please link to one of my sites (hint: that's everything ending with ".htm" or "html" in your browser's address bar) on which you found the picture that you would like to link to.

All images of paintings or original movie costumes were not taken by me (except if stated so) and are on this site for educational purposes.
As far as I could, I have credited the original photographers and/or their sites or have mentioned from where I have scanned certain pictures. They remain property of their respective owners.

Kontakt: Bitte schreibt an naergilien@yahoo.de mit dem Wort 'Costume' in der Betreffzeile. Die Mailbox ist so eingerichtet, daß sie alle Mails, die nicht diesen Betreff haben und deren Versender auch nicht auf meiner Whitelist stehen, erst einmal löscht.
Es kann einige Tage dauern, bis ich Euch antworten kann - bitte habt Geduld. Wenn ich nicht innerhalb einer Woche antworte, so habe ich Eure Mail wahrscheinlich nicht erhalten (aus welchem Grunde auch immer) - in diesem Fall schickt sie bitte einfach nochmal los.

Klaut meine Bilder also nicht, um sie zu veröffentlichen (sei das nun in Druck- oder Filmmedien, auf privaten oder geschäftlichen Webseiten etc) ohne mich vorher zu fragen, ob das in Ordnung ist und natürlich nicht, ohne von mir dann die Erlaubnis zu bekommen.
Mein Server ist größtenteils so eingerichtet, daß er den meisten Seiten keinen direkten Link auf Bilder hier erlaubt. Wollt ihr also unbedingt ein Bild von mir irgendwo verlinken, so verlinkt die Seite, auf der sich das Bild befindet (Hinweis: Eine 'Seite' ist in diesem Falle etwas, das in der Adreßzeile Eures Browsers mit 'htm' oder 'html' endet).
