Utilizing the Illuminated Manuscript by Giovanni Boccaccio with the title De claris mulieribus in an anonymous French translation (Le livre de femmes nobles et renommées), I thought I would try my hand at some walls for you to decorate your noble and famous ladies' chambers. A massive amount of them to be exact .... 96 in all, emulating the beauty of the manuscripts' paintings from the link above in a faded and worn effect. The wall panels aren't in chronological order as in the manuscript itself, but you can try to determine what famous lady each represents and then google who they are/were.
So, I'd like to present The Queen's Chambers. So why would you need them all?! Well, to decorate a whole suite of rooms for your ladies, of course!!
Slideshow of all the Panels.
OR ... the thumbnails!
Found under "Poured Walls" for $20 simoleons. I hope your Noble Ladies will enjoy their "Court Painter's Handiwork"
Panels 1 to 25, Panels 26 to 50, Panels 51 to 75, and Panels 76 to 96

Wow! A marvellous combination of fresco, panelling and drapery. Who could ask for more. Thanks for another awesome set of yours!
ReplyDeleteThis wallpaper seems to be fitting for a room from the Renaissance time period. The elaborate design and luxurious colors imply a lot of monetary wealth, presumably accumulated by families over the ages.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I would love it if creators had taken the time and effort in creating new content descriptions. Witty content descriptions seem to be lacking in the realm of Custom Content.
ReplyDeleteIn contrast, all the custom content I create have modified descriptions, price tags, and titles.
@Anonymous .... LOL, I'll ask you for some of those witty descriptions next time I make a large set of something. :P
ReplyDelete"Court Painter's Handiwork"
ReplyDeleteCost: $20
Description: In the Italian Renaissance, King Amarello commissioned the painter Giovanni Abbadelli, a humble painter of a nearby monastery, to construct 96 different murals for the cathedral. After working several days on the project, Giovanni finally presented his work to the King, and much to the King's delight, was handsomely rewarded a large pension. To this day, the Abbadelli mural survives and is optimized in your very own home!
Nicely written :P
ReplyDeleteI know. I know. We are all just too lazy to make that effort. I'll do better next time :P
Don't forget to add a dash of humor! The best ones, in my opinion, match those silly descriptions created by Electronic Arts people themselves.
ReplyDeleteWalter,
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing set! I love having all of the wondrous colours and exquisite detailing. "Try" your hands at walls indeed! With you eye for the gorgeously ornate and your keen perfectionist flare, I suspect that you can add a bit of awesomeness to any walls!
Love to you and TY :)
