Elizabeth bathory

Known as the "White Queen," Elizabeth Woodville was a skilled seductress. Her first husband was killed by King Edward IV, whom Elizabeth then lured into marriage with her irresistible beauty. Because she was considered a commoner, their marriage was a scandal in the kingdom — but she held her own. After several decades, many years of childbearing and the death of her husband, Elizabeth finally stepped out of the public eye to make way for her daughter: the "White Princess."

In many cases, the version of history we all learned in grade school was manufactured by someone with a killer grudge.

This portrait is a contemporary representation of the countess Elizabeth Bathory, made in 1993 by Bohdan Jelínek. It was hung in the Cachtice Museum for many years, then the portrait traveled a bit in some parts of the world (Spain, Venezuela, etc.) as part of the itinerant exhibition "Bloody Women in History". Currently the owner of the work is OU Čachtice.
