Description
Daughter of Pope Alexander VI (Borgia) and Vannozza Catanei courtesan: It was more a victim than victimizer as was usually imagined. Was the instrument in the hands of the Pope for strategic alliances made through appropriate marriages: He lived in a dissolute ga environment because of the mother, involved in countless acts of war because of his brother and husbands. In fact at the end he was loyal and faithful wife, unwilling to court intrigues and able ruler in Ferrara. Lover of the arts, and a woman of great faith. He made a lot of charity towards the church and the poor at his death was received for this in a convent where he is still his grave. He was 39 years old.
I dedicate this to reassess the reputation. It appears serene even though surrounded by elements that have ruined the reputation. (The church, war and lust)

Awesome, really like this. Keith.
Excellent work!!!!
Thanks for setting her record straight. I was considering doing it, but when I read your text I saw I didn't need to. So many have written so much derogatory garbage about this poor girl. You have made a very unusual and interesting portrait of her and her 3 "curses" - her father the pope, war and lust. Very well made. Keep up the good work! :-) Deserves more than a 5 rating!
WOW my friend... What a fabulous concept and an awesome creation... Incredible characters also !!!
A great tribute! There is no historical basis for all the accusations which came from political rivals most likely. Unfortunately her true story may never be known.
impressive and beautiful tribute
Wonderful image! Excellent work!!!

FABULOUS!
Excellent shot, fantastic colors and details
I say your finest image to date. Wow!!
beautiful image
Very creative work and a super interpretation. I am intrigued at how you have done this. Fabulous.
The X-Ray effect is very cool. Kind of like seeing through the false to the truth. Even in Wikipedia it is hard to deduce what kind of person she was. In those times I could not imagine having a Pope as a superior, let alone a father.
She went through hell in her short life. Hopefully God gave her salvation.
Excellent art, Guilband!
WOW! It is amazing how revisionist history has become accepted as truth.
Excellent !!!!
Eccellente lavoro e la storia interessante. La cattiva notizia è che la famiglia Borgia ha commesso molti atti scandalosi. La buona notizia è che erano Spagnolo e non Italiano.
Ottima descrizione di questa donna dalla cattiva reputazione,sono d'accordo con te su ogni punto descritto. Gran bel lavoro come sempre.
Fantastic work and history! Bravo! Most excellent!
Ghostly colors and pose work G-Band... :)
Wonderful this glassy greenish make up of your figures
