Description

Daughter of Pope Alexander VI (Borgia) and Vannozza Catanei courtesan: It was more a victim than victimizer as was usually imagined. Was the instrument in the hands of the Pope for strategic alliances made through appropriate marriages: He lived in a dissolute ga environment because of the mother, involved in countless acts of war because of his brother and husbands. In fact at the end he was loyal and faithful wife, unwilling to court intrigues and able ruler in Ferrara. Lover of the arts, and a woman of great faith. He made a lot of charity towards the church and the poor at his death was received for this in a convent where he is still his grave. He was 39 years old. I dedicate this to reassess the reputation. It appears serene even though surrounded by elements that have ruined the reputation. (The church, war and lust)

Thanks for setting her record straight. I was considering doing it, but when I read your text I saw I didn't need to. So many have written so much derogatory garbage about this poor girl. You have made a very unusual and interesting portrait of her and her 3 "curses" - her father the pope, war and lust. Very well made. Keep up the good work! :-) Deserves more than a 5 rating!

A great tribute! There is no historical basis for all the accusations which came from political rivals most likely. Unfortunately her true story may never be known.

The X-Ray effect is very cool. Kind of like seeing through the false to the truth. Even in Wikipedia it is hard to deduce what kind of person she was. In those times I could not imagine having a Pope as a superior, let alone a father.

She went through hell in her short life. Hopefully God gave her salvation.

Excellent art, Guilband!

Eccellente lavoro e la storia interessante. La cattiva notizia è che la famiglia Borgia ha commesso molti atti scandalosi. La buona notizia è che erano Spagnolo e non Italiano.
