EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic siblings Lucrezia and Cesare Borgia, two of the most infamous figures in Renaissance history. Lucrezia Borgia, known for her beauty and cunning intelligence, was a central figure in the political intrigues of 15th century Italy. Her brother Cesare was a ruthless military commander and politician, feared by many for his ruthlessness and ambition.
In this image, taken around 1495, Lucrezia and Cesare are depicted together, their expressions inscrutable as they gaze into the distance. The bond between these siblings was complex - some historians suggest that they were fiercely loyal to each other, while others believe that their relationship was fraught with rivalry and betrayal.
Lucrezia's life has been shrouded in controversy, with rumors of poisonings and illicit affairs swirling around her. Despite this dark reputation, she is also remembered as a patron of the arts and a skilled diplomat.
Cesare's legacy is equally controversial - he was responsible for numerous brutal acts during his quest for power in Italy. However, he is also credited with modernizing warfare tactics and laying the groundwork for future military strategies.
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library offers a glimpse into the lives of these fascinating historical figures - capturing both their undeniable charisma and their shadowy reputations.
