This Instagram Account Is Dedicated To Exquisite Art History Fashion

A niche Instagram account run by two anonymous New Yorkers, Artgarments examines magnificent painted depictions of style through the centuries. Having amassed nearly 94,000 followers, Artgarments proves that dramatic frills and ornate jewels as impeccably portrayed by the Old Masters require absolutely #nofilter.

It’s in the finest intricacies of a lace collar and the weightless movement of a silken frock that an artist may exhibit the most spectacular talent. Yet as one half of the unidentified pair behind Artgarments points out, the safe distance museums keep between paintings and viewers leaves quite a bit of room to miss these stunning details. While no technology can surpass the experience of seeing a painting in person, Artgarments enhances some of art history’s most Instagrammable collars, headdresses, and fabrics.

“My instinct at museums is always to touch my nose to the canvas to study brushstrokes or the combination of colors to achieve a particular effect, but of course, there are security guards and ropes and alarms,” one of the Artgarments founders writes on their website. “I like the idea that I can view a work of art privately and study it at my own pace… In that sense, technology really democratizes works that were traditionally inaccessible to all.”

Be it the billowy floral dress adorning Botticelli’s Primavera maiden (above) or the spectacular blue gown donned by one Mrs. Ruby Melville (below), Artgarments magnifies these crucial parts of the canvas—which you may not have otherwise noticed—in all their splendor.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.

We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits.
