Alexander VI (Roderic Llançol i de Borja) – Bust

Alexander VI, born Roderic Llançol i de Borja—better known by the Italianized name Rodrigo Borgia—is one of the most famous and controversial popes of the Renaissance. Elected pope in 1492, he remains closely associated with the power of the Borgia family, the political landscape of Renaissance Italy, and the profound cultural and artistic transformations at the end of the 15th century. A complex historical figure, he left an indelible mark through both his political influence and the captivating image preserved in Renaissance chronicles and artworks.

This 3D-printed bust draws inspiration from the most renowned representations of Alexander VI, particularly the celebrated profile portraits painted during his pontificate. The sculptural interpretation faithfully captures his distinctive features: a robust facial structure, a prominent nose, tightly pressed lips, and the imposing silhouette characteristic of Italian Renaissance portraiture. Bold volumes and meticulously carved lines accentuate the character’s solemn and authoritative presence, rendered in a classical style tailored specifically for 3D printing.
