Isabella d´Este is probably the best known female collector of anticaglie in renaissance Italy, but she is often seen as the exception to proves the rule. This illustrated talk looks at some of the less familiar female collectors, they objects they wishes to own, and the rooms and pieces of furniture they used for display.
