Sunday Times bestselling author of the acclaimed series of Italian Renaissance novels, Sarah Dunant now turns her discerning eye to the foremost female art collector and patron of the Renaissance, the Marchioness of Mantua, Isabella d’Este.
Born in 1474, Isabella was a powerful artistic patron, who amassed a magnificent collection of paintings, sculptures, books, instruments and curiosities, now long since lost or dispersed.
All that remains is her blazing trail of correspondence – thousands of letters, here masterfully woven into this story of a powerful and flamboyant woman, a fashion icon and a cunning political operator, who refused to be bound by the conventions of her age.
Join Sarah to learn more about the Marchesa, a compelling, yet, until now, lesser-known character of the Italian Renaissance.
Tickets £15.00
includes refreshments
