"Virilite: A Journey Through Time and Style" Step into the world of Virilite, where art, history, and fashion intertwine. From the captivating Portrait of Paul Guillaume in 1916 to the grandeur of a Garden Party at the Elysee in Paris in 1902, this collection takes you on a visual voyage through different eras. The brushstrokes of oil on canvas bring to life a rainy street scene in Paris from 1877, while a delicate pastel self-portrait captures the essence of an artist's soul in the 18th century. The fresco depicting Niccolo Acciaiuoli, grand senechal of Naples during the 15th century, showcases both power and elegance. As we delve further back in time, we encounter costumes that transport us to medieval courts. Man's costume at the time of King Henry IV and Henry V reveals intricate details captured by lithograph and engraving techniques. Young page boys dressed in vibrant colors with black toques and green hats evoke curiosity about their stories. Military attire takes center stage as we explore crusader armor from the 13th century. Iron helmets paired with chainmail armor create an imposing figure ready for battle. Meanwhile, a Venetian nobleman dons a red toque and scarlet cape lined with white silk—a symbol of wealth and status during the Renaissance period. Michelangelo's David Sex Detail sculpture captivates viewers with its exquisite marble craftsmanship—an enduring testament to human beauty throughout centuries. And finally, our journey ends with a mysterious young woman wearing a veil hat that conceals her face but not her allure—holding an umbrella and book as she navigates through life's mysteries. Virilite invites you to immerse yourself in these diverse artistic expressions that celebrate humanity's creativity across time, and is through these glimpses into history that we can appreciate how style has evolved while still leaving an indelible mark on our present.
