Very interesting video given that Isabella Este Gonzaga, was the first lady on a politica level and a patron, on an artistic level, sia manager to survive in the politica arena of the renissance. Mantova my city.
She wasthe fashion icon who gave suggestions to Catherine de medici queen of france the first, she was a woman of power and patron of many artists, recentemente of the city of MANTOVA my city, thank you!
I love strong women’s stories although I wonder if Isabella would’ve been difficult to be around on a daily basis because she was so used to getting her own way in everything.
I LOVE your channel and content! And I greatly appreciate the wonderful art and the very interesting historical backgrounds you provide! I have one leetle tiny thing to point out: the grammar in your statement "her father made sure her and her sister got the same education as her brothers did..." seems wrong. Shouldn't that be "...SHE and her sister..."? I was taught to remove the "and her sister" part of the sentence to see which pronoun sounded grammatically correct...i.e., "...SHE got the same education..." is what sounds right to my ear. (I hope you will view this constructive criticism in the spirit in which it was intended: to be helpful, not destructive or disrespectful.) ❤
I have to say that the artist she commissioned painting from did not have great design. The subject where just painted as individuals that had not interest in how they interacted with other individuals in the painting. Not sophisticated at at all, and look like they were painted by amateurs.

Great video. Very interesting
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
I really enjoy your videos. Please forgive a pedantic point: "Mantua" is pronounced MAN-tyoo-a (in Italian, the city is called Mantova, MAN-toh-va).
Thank you! Always looking to learn and improve on my Italian 😄
