Abstract

Ovaj diplomski rad na temu analize i reinterpretacije odjeće s portreta carice Elizabete Bavarske, poznate kao Sisi, autora Franza Xavera Winterhaltera, bavi se odijevanjem viših slojeva, tj. aristokracije u zapadnoj Europi te opisuje živahne promjene ženske haljine kroz cijelo stoljeće. Također, uz osvrt na političku situaciju i aktualnosti toga doba, rad se referira na prvu modnu kuću i razvoj visoke mode. Kroz portret carice Elizabete Bavarske analizirat će se odjevni predmet kao artefakt te kao dobar primjer odijevanja iz tog razdoblja. Njegova analiza poslužit će kao osnova za praktični dio rada – reinterpretaciju odjevnog predmeta (haljine) s portreta u stvarnoj veličini.The subject of this paper on the analysis and reinterpretation of clothing from the portrait of Empress Elizabeth of Bavaria, known as Sisi, by Franz Xaver Winterhalter, is the study of the dressing of the upper class, i.e. aristocracy, in Western Europe, and describing the vibrant changes of women's dresses throughout the century.
