EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Isabella Sforza, Daughter of Alfonso, King of Naples, Wife of Giovanni Galeazzo Sforza: A Renaissance Woman and Author of a Treatise on the Tranquility of the Soul Isabella Sforza, born in 1470, was a remarkable figure in the Italian Renaissance. Daughter of Alfonso II of Naples, she was married to Giovanni Galeazzo Sforza, Duke of Milan, in 1480. This striking portrait captures the essence of Isabella's regal beauty and intelligence. Isabella was not just a noblewoman; she was a woman of letters and a philosopher. She wrote a treatise on the tranquility of the soul, a work that reflects her deep understanding of the human condition and her quest for inner peace. The treatise, which is now lost, was likely inspired by her personal experiences and the philosophical debates of the time. Isabella's life was marked by both tragedy and triumph. Her father's death in 1494 left her a widow at a young age, and she was later imprisoned by her brother-in-law, Ludovico Sforza, for several years. Despite these challenges, Isabella continued to pursue her intellectual interests and maintain her dignity. This image of Isabella Sforza serves as a reminder of the complex and multifaceted lives of women in the Renaissance. She was not only a member of the aristocracy but also a writer, a thinker, and a survivor. Her treatise on the tranquility of the soul is a testament to her enduring legacy and her contribution to the intellectual and cultural history of the Renaissance. This photograph is from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection and is available for rights-managed use. The exact date of the portrait is unknown, but it is believed to date from around the late 15th or early 16th century. The image offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of a remarkable woman who defied the limitations of her time.
