Description
A 21st Century Photograph of a Mardi Gras mask decorated for Christmas displayed in the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art (Ca' d'Zan) in Sarasota, Florida.
There is little evidence explaining the motive for the earliest mask wearing in Venice. One scholar argues that covering the face in public was a uniquely Venetian response to one of the most rigid class hierarchies in European history. During Carnival, the sumptuary laws were suspended, and people could dress as they liked, instead of according to the rules that were set down in law for their profession and social class.
