Catherine de Medici loved Amboise and lived there. The queen, who died there in 1483, was always surrounded by a large court as befitted her rank, having almost 150 persons at her service. As for the decoration, it was originally of French inspiration but latter profited from the collaboration of the Flemish artists and, after the return of the Italian expedition of 1495, of Italian artists. The furnishings were luxurious, Flemish and French tapestries, Damask curtains and Turkish carpets. |
