Listen to Part Two of ArtMuse's episode on Luisa Casati. In this episode, we honor Luisa's immense life and give her the recognition she deserves. There are few other figures in history who lived as authentically, inspired as much genius, and had such avant-garde visions of fashion, design, and self-image as Luisa Casati. She set trends and elicited awe everywhere she went. As author Scot Ryersson wrote, “The Marchesa Luisa Casati was more than just an eccentric flame from another age. In spite of her many follies, she was a genuine innovator of the arts and an inspiration to creative genius”. Luisa was an undeniable force of nature, and her name and story deserve its place in history.

She could be seen strutting through Venice in the dark of night, with nothing but a fur coat on, as she walked her two pet cheetahs. Once described “as beautiful as a black panther, and also as dangerous”, this mysterious woman was one of the wealthiest and most outlandish characters in all of the 20th century.

In this episode we share the incredible life story of the Marchesa Luisa Casati, an Italian heiress who used her fortune to create a life of her wildest imagination. She was also one of the most important patrons of her time. She was painted by Giovanni Boldini, photographed by Man Ray, and sculpted by Jacob Epstein. It’s believed that Luisa commissioned over two hundred separate portraits of herself, with the aim to “commission her immortality”.

Emma’s path crossed with some of the greatest names of eighteenth century history, from George Romney and Joshua Reynolds, to General Horatio Nelson, to even Marie Antoinette. Her story is a tale of hope, grandeur, everlasting love, and devastating heartbreak.

Listen to Part One of ArtMuse's episode on Madame de Pompadour, the official mistress of King Louis XV, who became the first woman of Bourgeoisie origins to ever become the King’s mistress in the French Royal Court.

And she was much more than just a mistress. As the years went on, Madame de Pompadour eventually graduated from mistress to the King’s political advisor and became involved with domestic and foreign affairs.

She was also an important patron of the arts. She was Boucher’s favorite model and can be found in nine separate portraits by him. Through her patronage, Madame de Pompadour greatly influenced and inspired the development of the Rococo style.
