Medieval Lantern Corps

So, I spotted this statue in Tate’s a while back and thought “I should draw a whole rainbow corps with outfits from different nations during the Middle Ages.”

The Pros: I get to draw + and do SCA research

The Cons: I couldn’t settle for one era of time, so I’m doing one for the early 9th century and one for the 1490’s.

Here’s the list so far. (I haven’t matched empires and colors yet, except for the Byzantines. They get Violet.)

800-820 AD

• Byzantine
• Abbasid
• Heian
• Khmer
• Maya
• Norse
• Franks

1490-1510 AD

• Ming Dynasty
• Songhai
• Ottoman
• Aztec
• Joseon
• Venetian or Florentine
• Vijayanagara Empire
