EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from Victor Hugo's play "Lucrece Borgia" of 1833, depicting Lucrezia Borgia, the Duchess of Ferrara and renowned patron of the arts and education. In Act III Scene II, we see Lucrezia surrounded by hooded monks and men as she faces accusations dating back to 1480. Despite being accused in history books for her alleged crimes, Lucrezia is portrayed here as a powerful figure who used her influence to support the arts and education during her time.
The artist Raffet has beautifully captured the tension and drama of this historical moment, with each character exuding emotion through their expressions and body language. The intricate details in this print transport us back to a time when accusations could ruin reputations and lives.
As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the complexities of history and how individuals like Lucrezia Borgia were often misunderstood or misrepresented. Through art like this print, we can explore different perspectives on well-known figures from the past and gain a deeper understanding of their impact on society.
This stunning piece from Mary Evans Picture Library is not just a visual representation but also an invitation to delve into the rich tapestry of history that continues to shape our world today.
