Artwork from my desk calandar for the week's end is listed below. I was turning the pages when I was also getting the mail from the post box. As I was looking at both piles of papers it was apparent to me that the colors from these two works of art and my new March Anthropology catalog were the same colors hues and saturation of colors. Funny how things can parallel sometimes in life & art.
Below Raphael ( Raffaello Sanzio of Urbino ) ( 1483 -1520) * Vision of a knight, c. 1504 * National Gallery, London England
The colors have a washed look, but still earthy colors with natural tones from colors in the landscapes.
Isla dress Imported with the same blue tones, golds, and reds in the dress material.
William de Morgan ( 1839 -1917 ) * Earthenware tiles, n.d. * Private collection arts & crafts inspired color blocks in these tiles. Also, a blocked or big stenciled theme...much like the trend today in wall coverings.
A menagere of bedding from http://anthropologie.com/ Morning glory bedding, Bella hothouse bedding, Savannah bedding, Aster bedding.....same type of color blocked, strong stencil design patterns in the bedding, pillow cases & coverlets. I love the look of the Anthropology urban gypsy meets sophisticated style.
The papaya rind necklace also echos the golden, papaya tones with greens & natural hues as in the Raphael painting.

I have been drooling over this catalogue for days.... but you've put the designs into such unique perspective. Am I the only one drooling over the lipstick she's wearing in the sunglass shot? UGH! The perfect coral/nude/pink *sigh* ;)
I know, it's a really great looking Spring...through the eyes of Anthropology...my fav store to wonder into ...
