Lucrezia, tercera hija del gran duque Cosimo de' Medici, es una niña callada y perspicaz, con un singular talento para el dibujo, que disfruta de su discreto y tranquilo lugar en el palazzo. Pero cuando muere su hermana Maria, justo antes de casarse con Alfonso d'Este, primogénito del duque de Ferrara, Lucrezia se convierte inesperadamente en el centro de atención: el duque se apresura a pedir su mano, y su padre a aceptarla. Poco después, con solo quince años, se traslada a la corte de Ferrara, donde es recibida con recelo. Su marido, doce años mayor, es un enigma: ¿es en realidad el hombre sensible y comprensivo que le pareció al principio o un déspota implacable al que todos temen? Lo único que está claro es lo que se espera de ella: que proporcione cuanto antes un heredero que asegure la continuidad del título. Con la misma belleza y emoción con las que nos cautivó en Hamnet, Maggie O'Farrell vuelve a demostrar su inigualable talento para adentrarse en los recovecos del pasado en El retrato de casada, una novela que reinterpreta desde la ficción un capítulo de la Italia renacentista y narra la lucha contra el destino de una joven asombrosa."--Back cover.
Florence, mid-16th century. Lucrezia, third daughter of the Grand Duke Cosimo de' Medici, is a quiet and perceptive girl, with a singular talent for drawing, which she enjoys in her discreet and quiet place in the palazzo. But when her sister Maria dies, just before marrying Alfonso d'Este, eldest son of the Duke of Ferrara, Lucrezia unexpectedly becomes the center of attention: the duke rushes to ask for her hand, and her father to accept. Shortly after, at only fifteen years old, she moves to the court of Ferrara, where she is received with suspicion. Her husband, twelve years her senior, is an enigma: is he really the sensitive and understanding man he first seemed to her, or a ruthless despot everyone fears? The only thing that is clear is what is expected of her: that she provide an heir as soon as possible to ensure the continuity of his title.
