We may look for her, too, at the banquets in the palaces of Rome's great families, the Massimi and Orsini, the Santa Croce, Altieri, and Valle, and in the homes of the wealthy bankers Altoviti, Spanocchi, and Mariano Chigi, whose sons Lorenzo and Agostino--the latter eventually became famous--enjoyed the confidence of the Borgias.
Lucretia was able in Rome to gratify a taste for the fine arts.
Alexander found employment for the great artists of the day in the Vatican, where Perugino executed some paintings for him, and where, under the picture of the holy Virgin, Pinturicchio, who was his court artist, painted the portrait of the adulteress, Giulia Farnese.

He also painted portraits of several members of the Borgia family in the castle of S.Angelo.
"In the castle of S.Angelo," says Vasari, "he painted many of the rooms _a grotesche_; but in the tower below, in the garden, he depicted scenes from the life of Alexander VI.

There he painted the Catholic Queen Isabella; Niccolo Orsini, Count of Pitigliano; Giangiacomo Trivulzio; and many other kinsmen and friends of the Pope, and especially Caesar Borgia and his brother and sisters, as well as numerous great men of the age." Lorenz Behaim copied the epigrams which were placed under six of these paintings in the "castle of S.Angelo, below in the papal gardens." All represented scenes from the critical period of the invasion of Italy by Charles VIII, and they were painted in such a way as to make Alexander appear as having been victorious.

One showed the king prostrating himself at the Pope's feet in this same garden of the castle of S.Angelo; another represented Charles declaring his loyalty before the consistory; another, Philip of Sens and Guillaume of S.Malo receiving the cardinal's hat; another, the mass in S.Peter's at which Charles VIII assisted; the subject of another was the passage to S.
Paul's, with the king holding the Pope's stirrup; and, lastly, a scene depicting the departure of Charles for Naples, accompanied by Caesar Borgia and the Sultan Djem.[72] These paintings are now lost, and with them the portraits of the members of the Borgia family.

Pinturicchio doubtless painted several likenesses of the beautiful Lucretia.
