Beautifully presented, I enjoyed it very much, thankyou. The portrait "Lady with the Ermine" is indeed one of the Dukes mistresses and is identified as Cecilia Gallerani who bore him a child. The beautiful portrait "La Belle Ferronniere" is thought to be Lucrezia Crivelli another of his mistresses but this is not certain.
How great to learn about strong and interesting women of the Renaissance! For far too long we’ve only been taught history that focuses almost exclusively on men’s lives, so learning about women lives throughout history is a much needed correction. Thank you! Your channel has such interesting content and is greatly appreciated. I will recommend it to my friends.
@historybylynny And I'm glad you are here. I love the history, and I love the art! This reminds me of an old book set I picked up ages ago. Stories from Italy... they were pretty brutal, I tucked them away somewhere because my children were too young for that.
Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to more videos. I went to Milan twice and sadly I wasn’t able to visit Sforzesco Castle. God willing on my next trip. 🇮🇹
I really appreciate your videos & was very eager to get to this one! Their story started out so beautifully, & I thought finally, a true love story based on loyalty!! But then Ludovico had a mistress(es) & a child(ren), ugh!! Why was this such an acceptable, common practice at the time? I have my own ideas, however I’m wondering if there’s anything written about it? Also, I’m curious what an education consisted of for girls in the Middle Ages &/or Renaissance. What love to see something on that if it interests you. Thank you for another good one!! 🙏🏼♦️🛡️💜
Thank you so much 😊 Thats a great idea for a video! Many of the nobles and girls born into wealthy families received the same education as their brothers or other young men. If not the same then pretty close and for sure would learn about literature and the arts. The lower class were not so lucky.
Non mi risulta ci sia uno studio specifico a riguardo, ma viene spiegato in parecchie biografie. Comunque era perfettamente normale che un uomo potente avesse delle amanti, anche più di una contemporaneamente. Le mogli ne erano poco gelose, sebbene qualche volta capitasse che facessero delle scenate o addirittura cercassero di eliminarle fisicamente. In generale si accettava che il marito commettesse adulterio quando era lontano da casa (c'è una lettera di Eleonora d'Aragona, madre di Beatrice, che scrive al marito dicendo che lo perdona in anticipo per eventuali tradimenti perché comunque preferisce sapere che è sano e sta bene piuttosto di saperlo fedele e sofferente). Insomma l'adulterio maschile era visto come uno sfogo puramente fisico. Nel caso di Beatrice, neppure lei si mostrò mai troppo gelosa, stando a quanto ne sappiamo. Ella stessa all'inizio disse che sapeva della presenza di Cecilia in castello e che non le dava fastidio. L'unica scenata di gelosia che fece al marito fu quando lui comprò ad entrambe lo stesso vestito ponendole così sullo stesso piano. Inaccettabile perché la moglie doveva stare sopra di tutte. Di scenate relative a Lucrezia non si sa nulla. Solo un cronista che dice che ne era gelosa, ma non entra nel dettaglio. A parere mio Beatrice amò il marito, ma non fu mai attratta sessualmente da lui.

You’ll need to visit the pinacoteca di Brera as well to see the painting of Beatrice in her striped dress. 😀

@@Beaest__ It’s good to hear different historical accounts & opinions. Thank you for your insight! 🙏🏼💜
Love history❤
Her hurt her with the mistress, so she took her broken heart and left not without taking her son with her. 😢
