Alessandro de’ Medici (1510 – 1537), Duke of Florence (Italy), was often called “il Moro” (“the Moor”). Despite the many portraits of this 16th century Italian Renaissance figure, his African heritage is rarely, if ever, mentioned.[Editor's Note: For more on this omission as it has occurred in the art world, read this January 2005 update.]

Ludwig II, King of Bavaria. Some claim he was mad. I think perhaps he had not let go of the childish desire for the fantastic and unusual. Maybe he wanted what everyone wants, but he happened to have the means to make it reality. Is madness a condition or the perception externally of unusual characteristics?
