FEUERBACH, Anselm: Lucrezia Borgia, Portrait of a Roman woman in white tunic and red robe

🖼 Lucrezia Borgia, Portrait of a Roman woman in white tunic and red robe, 1864
Frankfurt, Germany

Soft light bathes a woman in classical white tunic and crimson robe, her gaze distant and melancholic against a dark background. Feuerbach reimagines the Renaissance cardinal's daughter as an idealized figure of tragic beauty, blending historical portraiture with Romantic sensibility and moral ambiguity.
