UPCOMING EVENT - FEBRUARY 22: PRIDE & PREJUDICE IN THE LIFE OF SOFONISBA ANGUISSOLA

Registrations are now open for the presentation 

Pride and Prejudice in the life of Sofonisba Anguissola, 

February 22, 2025 - 11 AM, SLT.

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single" woman from a noble family with no means to provide her with a dowry will inevitably become a nun - or perhaps a lady-in-waiting to the Queen of Spain?

Jane Austen was undoubtedly unaware of Sofonisba Anguissola's remarkable life. Had she known about Sofonisba's extraordinary journey and marriages (the second one, in particular), could she have resisted crafting a novel inspired by the captivating biography of this talented Renaissance artist? Probably not.

Join us at House Anguissola one week after Valentine's Day to explore the parallels between Sofonisba Anguissola's life and Jane Austen's celebrated novel. Discover how, at different stages of her life, Sofonisba Anguissola epitomized both Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy.
