SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Catherine de' Medici (1519-1589) was defined in part by the powerful men in her life: her uncle Pope Clement VII (1523-1534), her husband Henri II (1519-1559), King of France, and later her sons Francis II (1544-1560), Charles IX (1550-1574), and Henri III (1551-1589). Despite attempts by others to elide her individual identity and hold her power in check, Catherine created politically effective representations of herself, her position, and her authority through commissioning and displaying art. The artistic sphere was not inherently political, which allowed Catherine to redefine her identity outside of male influence and to take ownership of the multiple, intersecting roles she occupied as a wife, widow, and mother. By creating an identity that included this assemblage of roles, Catherine created her own independent narrative that asserted her political authority and individual identity.
