THURSDAY 4TH JULY 2024 AT 6 PM
A leading cultural figure of the Renaissance, Isabella d’Este was related to nearly every ruler in Italy either by birth or marriage. She made Mantua a centre of music, art, poetry, and gardens. A lover of clothes, she was a fashionista of her day, involved in the designs of her clothes, jewellery and even her perfume. Of outstanding intellect and unusually for a woman of her time she had her own studiolo and grotta for which she commissioned Andrea Mantegna's ‘Parnassus’. As a patron she was painted by the great artists of her time Mantegna, Titian and Leonardo da Vinci.
