Join an online conversation about early modern health and beauty routines, and what they reveal about western European women’s lives. Three researchers will discuss beauty recipes, regimes, art and artefacts from across the period and from different perspectives.
Professor Jill Burke, author of ‘How to be a Renaissance Woman’, will explore what recreating historical cosmetic recipes can reveal about life for women in 16th-century Italy.
Hayley O’Kell will talk about Iberian women’s addiction to eating fired clay, a beauty fad that captured the attention of some of the period’s most famous artists and writers.
Dr Romana Sammern will discuss the connections between early modern beauty, art and artefacts - reflecting on what objects like toilet boxes and ointment jars can tell us about beauty cultures.
The discussion will be facilitated by Patricia Akhimie, Director of the Folger Institute at the Folger Shakespeare Library. There will be a chance to ask questions during a Q&A session at the end.
