Annen (other variants: annin, gennin and hennin) - in French "au hennin", which translates as "horned".
For the first time in written sources hennin “... mentioned in 1418, in connection with the appeal of the Cistercian monks to the Bishop of Paris with a request to approve the behavior of children shouting after the ladies in flamboyant“ two-horned ”headdresses,“ Hey, goat! Horned! ... "
The Gothic style is characterized by the independence of each form and complete subordination to the vertical rhythm - pointed domes, pointed arches, narrow elongated windows….
Vertical rhythms and a general striving for the shape of an elongated triangle prevailed not only in architecture, but also in costume - sheer ends of sleeves, pointed boots, long trains, developing bedspreads and headdresses directed upwards, which are rightfully considered one of the most expressive elements of Burgundy fashion.
Annen was made from stiff paper or starched flax, and silk or other expensive fabric was pulled over it. A veil, long to the ground, was attached to it, which sometimes covered the face. The height of the annen depended on the degree of nobility. He elevated the feudal lords over the people and over each other. The more noble the lady was, the higher was her headdress. So, princesses wore a meter high annen. Ladies of a lower rank did not dare, of course, have caps higher than the limit was graciously set for them - up to 50-60 cm. In such a headdress, a woman would squat when entering the room. He was especially fond of the Burgundian ladies. Annen lasted about a hundred years in fashion in Europe, and this phenomenon is explained by the estate traditions of the medieval nobility, when not wealth itself was the main motive for behavior, but the ability to demonstrate it

Vladimir Pronkin is a contemporary Estonian artist. The majority of his dreams are painted on canvases. Even in the most sophisticated collections, his works stand out for their surrealism and profound philosophical meaning.
Pronkin’s paintings have defiant boldness, they pass through a set of variations: from the initial creative principle and develop into increasing power where images will turn with the energy of his hand and brush, and then will expand beyond all conceived. The world in his paintings is exactly and carefully reproduced in all details. It is whimsical, strange, and it appears in all its completeness, and for all that, it is full of ineffable beauty.
