La bella Lucrezia Borgia ! I still adore this series, and I wanted to make a portrait of Holliday Grainger since the beginning of the show, before Cesare’s one, but I needed a great model, and finally I found it ! Even if The Borgias isn’t really an historical series, it owns many qualities : the costumes and sets are perfect, and the main actors are talented. I think I’m in love with Lucrezia, she has so much charm and elegance but can be dangerous when she has to serve her own purposes (that’s why I kept the cup in her hand with the legend of the poisoner Lucrezia).

Now I have to think about drawing the last excellent character of the show, the Pope Alexander VI portrayed by Jeremy Irons : one day, one day…
