Abstract (en)

Aims to locate Isabella d'Este's collecting activities within Renaissance patronage patterns; and to define her own prescribed social position and patronage options. Concludes that her social and cultural activities must be considered within the intricate network of options and constraints which placed court women in a problematic relation to cultural representation.
