A bold novel history of "the first lady of the Renaissance."
From the acclaimed author of The Birth of Venus and In the Company of the Courtesan comes a vibrant exploration of the Italian Renaissance through the character of Isabella d’Este, the first female art collector and patron of her time. Her famed collection has long since dispersed or been lost, but what remains is her correspondence–thousands of letters preserved in a deconsecrated church and convent in the archive of Mantua.
Here, Isabella’s ghost lies waiting for the right scholar to give voice to her story. Together they resurrect a remarkable life: from the precocious daughter of a Duke and teenage wife to a Marquis, to a formidable court consort, patron, fashion icon, art collector and political operator, guiding the state of Mantua through the vicissitudes of war.
The Marchesa is Renaissance history at its most vivid, an immersive, multi-layered experience that mixes historical fiction with biography, scholarship and imagery, of both the people and the time. It is also a meditation on our attitude to history itself, challenging how far we can set aside our own values and certainties when it comes to understanding those in the past who grew out of very different cultural soil.

‘An utterly fascinating portrayal of a formidable and brilliant woman wielding power in the complex turmoil of the political landscape of Renaissance Italy – a woman who is irrepressible even in death.’ Jennifer Saint, Sunday Times bestselling author of Ariadne and Hera
Great story telling with enough suspense intermingled with great art history.
The narrative voice was splendid
