Reproduction of the dress worn by Marisa Berenson as Lady Honoria Lyndon in Barry LyndonMany of the costumes used in Barry Lyndon were genuine antique clothes, whilst other were custom-made for the film based on clothing represented in period paintings. Milena Canonero drew inspiration for the scenes in England from such works by Thomas Gainsborough and Joshua Reynolds, whilst for the movie's candlelit scenes the Italian designer was influenced by the German painter Adolph Menzel.
