Famous quotes containing the words early, medieval and/or art:
“Early rising is no pleasure; early drinking’s just the measure.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
“Nothing in medieval dress distinguished the child from the adult. In the seventeenth century, however, the child, or at least the child of quality, whether noble or middle-class, ceased to be dressed like the grown-up. This is the essential point: henceforth he had an outfit reserved for his age group, which set him apart from the adults. These can be seen from the first glance at any of the numerous child portraits painted at the beginning of the seventeenth century.”
—Philippe Ariés (20th century)
“Where art thou, death?
Come hither, come! Come, come, and take a queen
Worth many babes and beggars!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
