Giovanni Battista Lampi the Elder was born in Austria to fresco painter Matteo (Mattia) Lampi.  The young artist studied art under his father in Verona, & later in Salzburg. In 1773, he left his father's teaching to travel to Trento to study portraiture. He traveled next to Innsbruck; and then to Vienna, where the Emperor Joseph II appointed him a professor at the Vienna Academy in 1786. Later that same year, he was invited to Warsaw by the court of King Stanisław August Poniatowski.  He decided to stay & worked in Warsaw until the final partition of Poland.  In 1791, he moved to St. Petersburg, enticed by a hereditary knighthood offered by the Czar. In Russia he devoted himself to portrait painting.

17C Women in Turbans - Turquerie

 1615 Robert Peake the Elder (c. 1551–1619) Lady Elizabeth Pope, wearing a draped mantle and matching turban. 

One of my favorite early turbans in the Turquerie style which was the Orientalist fashion in Western Europe from the 16C to 18C for imitating aspects of Ottoman art and culture. It is Robert Peake's dark turban of 1615 seen above.  Turbans regained popularity in the early 19C, when the style of fashion was called Orientalism.
