Catherine de Medici & Family, a Portrait Retrospective

As part of the C.W. Gortner event for HFBRT I have put together a portrait slideshow of Catherine de Medici and her family. Being an ascetic person myself and always referencing pictures of the people I am reading about I thought give you a glimpse of Catherine and the people in her life.

ENJOY!

  3. Nice idea and a good job. The more I look into her life and the events that took place during it, the more interested I become.

  4. It's wonderful to see them as they were in life; one of the advantages of the era was a new trend toward realism in art, with the individual taking center stage. And you found a few portraits I'd not seen! Great post, thank you!

  6. Freaking cool I love the one of young Catherine, she was pretty. I hate to say this but Diane was pretty too but to hell with her, cougar.

  8. Catherine was pretty when she was young but unfortunately, Diane de Portiers (excuse sp) was a hottie! Poor Catherine!
