Thanks! I LOVE your avatar. I want to be Carol when I grow up.
I'm so glad you liked it-- and yes, a poem-inspired comp is a fantastic idea. I'm really envious that you're close enough to the museum to go see the painting!

The painting is stunning! The sidebar states she died from tuberculosis, but we know the truth!

AAAHHHH so jealous of you! It is amazing how many centuries rumors can persist. Even though most historians agree that the Duke didn't murder her, I guess Browning's story will always continue to reign supreme. Either way, poor little Lucrezia. I hope she had a happier life than the one I wrote for her.
