ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“The Marriage Portrait” by Maggie O'Farrell is a historical novel set in Renaissance Italy, centered on Lucrezia de' Medici, a young woman married off to Alfonso, Duke of Ferrara, in a politically motivated union. As Lucrezia navigates the opulence and dangers of court life, she grapples with her lack of autonomy and growing suspicions about her husband’s intentions. The novel explores themes of power, identity, and the roles women were forced into during the period. Art plays a significant role, symbolizing both control and liberation as Lucrezia struggles to define her own legacy within a constricting society.
