I Medici - A Renaissance in paper

A Dutch friend invited us to an exhibition we hadn't heard of.  It was not quite the event I would have noticed in the announcements, but I'm very glad we saw it. 

Isabelle de Borchgrave causes wonderment at the transformation of a simple sheet of white paper.  Through the magic of trompe l'oeil she walks us through history meeting one of the most prestigious families in Italian history: the Medici. 

Extraordinary craftsmanship with stunning details.

I was so intrigued by the details - even the heavy jewelry and delicate lace is made from paper and ultra thin slices of corrugated cardboard - that I actually forgot to capture the full costumes, some 30 in total.
