Bianca and Lucrezia at Forli
Daughter Bianca Sforza and Leonardo`s sketch of Lucrezia Borgia in the Sforza household. His drawing of Lucrezia is so informal, was it sketched while he was doing the pastel of Bianca? Lucrezia may have been sitting with her.

A "Lucrezia" painting, there is that dagger.

Leonardo`s La Bella Principessa
She was painted when Leonardo was with the Sforza family. Lucrezia married into this family in 1491. The date on this portrait is 1495-1496 so they knew one another.

Byron and Bembo
Widely believed to be Lucretia Borgia, by Titian, 1515. (This is a "Lucrezia as Lucrezia the Etruscan" painting, there are many of them. The male over her shoulder could be either Tarquin the Etruscan or Cesare Borgia).
Lucretia Borgia is not the fiend history has made her out to be. She was a symbol of the Renaissance woman and the administrator of not only her father’s office, Rodrigo Borgia, but also her husband’s estates, the Duke of Ferrara. In 1502, she met Pietro Bembo, poet and writer, an established member of her husband’s court. Shared intellectual pursuits attracted their kindred spirits, culminating in a brief affair, but leaving a friendship that lasted until her death.
Lord Byron who loved Luceezia and her letters to Pietro Bembo.
Angel by Raphael.
These two paintings are actually both of Lucrezia.
