Isabella de' Medici was the hostess of a glittering circle in Renaissance Florence. Beautiful and liberated, she not only matched the intellectual accomplishments of her male contemporaries, but sought sexual parity also, engaging in an adulterous affair with her husband's cousin. It was this affair - and her very success as First Lady of Florence - that led to her death at the hands of her husband at the age of just thirty-four. She left behind a remarkable story, and as her legacy a son who became the best of the Orsini Dukes, immortalised by Shakespeare as Duke Orsino in Twelfth Night. Caroline P. Murphy illuminates this often misunderstood figure, and in the process brings to life the home of creativity, the city of Florence itself.

The ducal court of Cosimo I de' Medici in sixteenth-century Florence was one of absolutist, rule-bound order. Portraiture especially served the dynastic pretensions of the absolutist ruler, Duke Cosimo and his consort, Eleonora di Toledo, and was part of a Herculean programme of propaganda to establish legitimacy and prestige for the new sixteenth-century Florentine court. In this engaging and original study, Gabrielle Langdon analyses selected portraits of women by Jacopo Pontormo, Agnolo Bronzino, Alessandro Allori, and other masters. She defines their function as works of art, as dynastic declarations, and as encoded documents of court culture and propaganda, illuminating Cosimo's conscious fashioning of his court portraiture in imitation of the great courts of Europe. Langdon explores the use of portraiture as a vehicle to express Medici political policy, such as with Cosimo's Hapsburg and Papal alliances in his bid to be made Grand Duke with hegemony over rival Italian princes. Stories from archives, letters, diaries, chronicles, and secret ambassadorial briefs, open up a world of fascinating, personalities, personal triumphs, human frailty, rumour, intrigue, and appalling tragedies. Lavishly illustrated, Medici Women: Portraits of Power, Love and Betrayal in the Court of Duke Cosimo I is an indispensable work for anyone with a passion for Italian renaissance history, art, and court culture.

No século XVI, a riqueza e influência de seu sobrenome se expandia de Florença a outras grandes cidades italianas, como Roma. Uma das mulheres mais astuciosas de seu tempo, se cercou de intelectuais e, como verdadeira herdeira de seu clã, patrocinou vários artistas, num mecenato digno de sua família. Com segurança e habilidade, aprendeu a navegar pelas intrigas e traições das cortes, construindo uma reputação merecida de sedução e poder. Seu final — prematuro e violento — apenas acrescentou mistério a uma existência repleta de prazer. Apesar da enorme influência exercida, pouco se sabe sobre a verdadeira mulher por trás do mito. Descrita como uma das mais completas mulheres que já existiram, suas representações vão da virtuosa mecenas a castelã perfeita, passando por amante exuberante, cortesã profissional, manipuladora ardilosa. A historiadora e biógrafa Caroline P. Murphy corrige essa lacuna da historiografia mundial e, com base em documentos recém-descobertos em arquivos italianos, revela pela primeira vez a verdadeira e extraordinária história de Isabella de Medici. Na ricamente ilustrada Isabella de Medici, Caroline alia rigor histórico a talento literário para reconstruir a trajetória dessa mulher à frente de seu tempo: o duque Cosimo de Medici concedeu à terceira de suas filhas uma liberdade jamais vista na Itália entre o sexo feminino. As mulheres eram apenas consideradas para gerar herdeiros e cuidar de maridos. Porém, Isabella viveu seus dias na busca da beleza, do amor e do prazer, determinada a conquistar seu próprio espaço em um universo machista. A existência feliz, no entanto, não durou muito. Quando Cosimo morreu, foi sucedido no governo dos Medici pelo impiedoso primogênito Francisco, Il principe. Homem dado a acessos de melancolia e comportamento anti-social, raramente era uma companhia bem-vinda. Como resultado, a vida de Isabella tomou um rumo trágico e inesperado, não contando mais com o apoio de um patriarca evoluído. Ao expor as realizações dos Medici no campo das artes e desvelar as traições no seio da corte, Isabella de Medici é ao mesmo tempo um precioso painel histórico e um relato belíssimo da mulher mais celebrada da Florença de seu tempo.
