About me

Gender Female
Introduction I am very interested in notable women in history who lived outside their traditional strictures yet retained their dignity (and lives) some ruling their lands, others patronizing artists, and yet more who have simply dared to be awesome. These are my heroines: Caterina Sforza, as a regent for her son and fierce defender of her home and family, Isabella d'Este as an able ruler, diplomat and art patroness, and Marguerite d'Angouleme as a published author and woman of integrity.
Interests Renaissance and early modern portrait identification, early modern european history, renaissance and mannerist art, frescoes, portraits architecture, notable and notorious women in history, colorado mountains, nature, mountain biking, hiking, camping
