Even 500 years after his death, Cesare Borgia speaks to us about power and politics. Cesare Borgia was the personification of Renaissance decadence and treachery. He and his family have inspired poems, operas, novels and movies.
Pinturicchio's portrait of Lucrezia Borgia (maybe) as Santa Catterina d'Alessandria disputing with the philosophers before Emperor Maximian in the Sala dei Santi in the Borgia apartments of the Vatican. The beautiful Lucrezia, sister of Cesare may (or may not) have also been his lover.
