“The letters from Cesare Borgia are intriguing in yet another respect. His correspondence with Juan stands out among the few surviving pieces of his private and family writing. […] The fraternal love that runs through it, from the first word to the last, reveals an affectionate, heartfelt Cesare, full of tenderness for his younger brother—so different from the grim Borgia that history usually presents to us.”

It’s pretty cool they got Isolda Dychauk to pose for Caravaggio, Judith Beheading Holofernes (c. 1598-1599).
