Decided to redraw my tangled redesigns but now inspired by the 1630s because that's my new hyperfocus...

Sailor's Slops

1600s-1700s

Extremely rare survival of a shirt and breeches, called slops, as worn by sailors from the late 16th through to the 18th centuries. This unique set of loose, practical sailor’s clothing reveals life aboard ship. They are made of very strong linen to endure the hard, rough work. There is tar across the front from hauling ropes. The breeches are heavily mended and patched, which the sailor would have done himself.

Title: The Assumption of the Virgin Artist: Nicolas Poussin (French, 1594-1665) Date: ca. 1630 Genre: religious art (Roman Catholic Christianity) Movement: Classicism Period: Baroque Medium: oil on canvas Dimensions: 134 cm (52.9 in) high x 98.1 cm (38.6 in) wide Location: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, USA

This painting depicts a popular theme of Catholic art during the Counter-Reformation, the bodily assumption of the Virgin Mary into heaven at the end of her life (mirroring the Ascension of Christ). The fluted columns behind Mary reflect Poussin's interest in classical antiquity, which he often merged with Christian themes and subjects.
