Grotta of Isabella D’Este and her collection

Abstract

Isabella d’Este was one of the most educated ladies of the Renaissance. In his personal quarters, as well as some other sovereign princes of that time created studiolo, a special kind of Cabinet, decorated in a special program, revealing the image of the ideal ruler. But she had nearby a «Grotta», which was a separate room for her collection. The outstanding collection of the Marquise of Mantua was predominantly works in different art forms, work from ancient and modern masters. There were sculptures, cameos and intaglios, medals and coins, vases of colored stone, made of silver, but also of the natural curiosities.
