A lecture by Eleanor Walker
Two women, two different centuries, both married into the Medici family. Lucrezia Tornabuoni and Eleonora di Toledo were both female role-models in their own homes and matriarchs in the Medici family - but who did they look to as exempla? In this talk, Eleanor Walker will compare these women and their choice of heroines by exploring Lucrezia’s writing in her Sacred Narratives and Eleonora’s interior design for her apartments at Palazzo Vecchio.
