"I Vampiri: Lucrezia Borgia" is the title - the eighth in my series of paintings called "I Vampiri " (which is Italian for The Vampires) - a new line of paintings that feature vampire beauties inspired by Italian Baroque & Italian Renaissance themes and aesthetics (many of which I have been hired to create for my upcoming Vampire Tarot/Oracle Deck). This eighth painting is called "I Vampiri: Lucrezia Borgia" - the fascinating Lucrezia herself. I've taken her somewhat sinisterly-portrayed character a bit further by incorporating vampiric elements. I love her goblet (what's in there - blood? Poison? The cantarella?) You may of course recognize the 15th-16th Century portrait by Altobello Melone of Lucrezia's brother, Cesare (a rather interesting character himself...). I painted this piece for MegaCon 2011 where the original painting was sold, but I have prints available! These fine art prints are made from my own original acrylic painting. Open Edition prints are on glossy photo paper and measurements include a white mounting border. The 8.5"x11" size has a printed area of about 8"x10", and the 13"x19" size has a printed area of about 12"x16". Canvas prints are Hand Embellished, measure about 11"x14" and are limited to an edition of 25. The copyright watermark does not appear in the actual print! See below for detail images.
