The Skaftö wreck

The wreck of the Skaftö off Lysekil, north of Gothenburg, discovered in 2003, dates from the late 1430s and probably sank around 1440.

A reconstruction of the Skaftö as it might have looked. She seemed to have been a carrack.(x)

Not much remains of the ship itself, but the cargo does, and that is particularly interesting because it provides an insight into the trade routes of the 15th century in northern Europe.

Photo of the wreck and copper ingots. (x)

She was carrying copper, oak timber, quicklime, tar, and bricks and roof tiles, which were produced in various corners of Europe. With these analyses, the researchers have been able to establish that the copper was mined in two areas in what is currently Slovakia, for example.

Another view on the copper ignots (x)

The analyses also show that the bricks, timber and probably also the tar originated in Poland, while the quicklime is apparently from Gotland. Presumably this was also her starting point, she sailed from Gotland, and was probably on her way to Gdansk in Poland and then on to Bruges in Belgium. In the 15th century, this city was a major trading hub, from where copper was transported to Venice, for example. The research is therefore still ongoing, even though it already provides a great insight into the trade of the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance.

#love how it looks like jesus is exuding laser beams #some interesting context about the book from wikipedia: #The treatise describes the alchemical process in terms of Christian mythology. The theme of the book is the analogy of the passion #death and resurrection of the Christ with the alchemical process leading to the lapis philosophorum. #The text is one of the most important alchemical works of late medieval Germany. #15th century #alchemy #st francis #christian iconography #stigmatization #medieval art #illuminated manuscripts #saints #wounds

THE MORGAN BLACK HOURS

The Black Hours is an illuminated book of hours completed in Bruges between 1460 and 1475. It consists of 121 pages (leaves), with Latin text written in Gothic minuscule script. The words are arranged in rows of fourteen lines and follow the Roman version of the texts. The lettering is inscribed in silver and gold and placed within borders ornamented with flowers, foliage and grotesques, on pages dyed a deep blueish black. It contains fourteen full-page miniatures and opens with the months of the liturgical calendar followed by the Hours of the Virgin, and ends with the Office of the Dead.

The anonymous painter of the Black Hours is an artist whose style depended mainly upon that of Willem Vrelant, one of the dominant illuminators working in Bruges from the late 1450s until his death in 1481. As in the work of Vrelant, figures in angular drapery move somewhat stiffly in shallowly defined spaces. The men's flat faces are dominated by large noses.

Only seven copies exist. The one shown is held by the Morgan Library. [View large]

I'm handsewing a 15th century Italian style doublet for the medieval festival in Provins this June ! Here are some process pics and some of my original references !

This is my first time both handsewing a whole garment and drafting my own mockup so it's far from perfect but I'm already quite proud of how it's turning out :D I'll post updates as it goes. Onto the lining !

watching Knight chuuya undress and dispose of his armour while you're waiting for him to crawl into bed beside you and you get the treat of seeing him in the skintight black covers they use under the amour, the slight turtle neck and watching as he rolls up his sleeves to put his hair up so it's not too tangled in the morning

getting to feel his hands wrap around your waist and pull you close to him as he mumbles in a groggy tone about how tired he is from work, how he's so glad he can come home to you. his hand traces up to cup your cheek, its slightly rough from combat, you can assume. but its so warm and he knows you enjoy it on you.

being pulled into a kiss and getting to feel him subconsciously wrap a hand around your neck, pulling you closer while he drums on the sides of your neck..... sigh ........

🌱

Agosufsjdja oh 🌱 anon your mind,,,, you make me WEAK!! Watching his deft fingers undo all the clasps and straps holding his armour on, the heavy clanks of each piece as he sets them down, the gentle clinking of chainmail as he lifts it over his head. Stripping off the tunic he's wearing underneath and hastily shrugging on his bedclothes before he gets into bed with you. His hands are rough from training and yours rough with house and yardwork but neither of you mind, his fingers find their place around your neck and waist as he kisses you desperately, murmuring how much he missed you.

#chuuya.bsd #knight!chuuya #🌱 anon #he makes me INSANEEEEEEEE #i went for high medieval period attire! i feel like that or early medieval suits him the best #i just don't see him in the more ornate late medieval styles #high medieval is thst sweet spot between looking like a Skyrim npc and your armour being mostly decorative imo #with the caveat that 15th century gothic armour will forever have my heart #my personal favourite medieval helmet styles are barbuta and great helms. also armet #ignore the historical inaccuracies of one guy taking his armour off all on his own you were typically helped by servants #also ignore that a knight's spouse would definitely not do that much yardwork
