THE MARRIAGE PORTRAIT

In 1550s Italy, young Lucrezia de' Medici is married off to the Duke of Ferrara, a man she barely knows, in a political alliance. But this marriage, intended to strengthen the power of her family, becomes a trap that could cost her everything.

At the heart of this historical novel lies Lucrezia’s marriage portrait—an image of a woman frozen in time. As Lucrezia’s story unfolds, we are drawn into the world of the Renaissance elite, full of art, politics, and betrayal. A vivid portrait of a woman’s inner strength, The Marriage Portrait explores Lucrezia's life in the shadow of her powerful family, her struggle for agency, and her fight for survival in a court where danger lurks at every turn.

Will the portrait, a symbol of her beauty and innocence, be the last thing the world sees of her?

A story of love, art, and intrigue, The Marriage Portrait reveals the turbulent life of a woman whose tragic fate has been overshadowed by history.
