Vanyaretta

Marai St. Vanya Retta, known mononymously as Vanyaretta, was a very famous Indrateran painter and sculptor from Sanctum. She was active in the mid-fourteenth century and was known for her striking Romantic compositions glorifying the power of nature, religious themes, as well as focusing on the individual struggle. Her most famous work was "Saviour".

Vanyaretta was known for her temper and her strops, but some argue these only helped influence the passion within her works. She had a complicated and turbulent relationship with the Electors of Sanctum, the di'Sforza family, as well as the Electors of Cessalia, the de'Ferrva family. She met with, argued with, and was commissioned by several of them, including:
* Enniö di'Sforza, the famed mercenary lord and son of Empress Dateriä II - she painted his family several paintings
* Empress Estrik de'Ferrva 'the Magnificent', the great stateswoman - Vanyaretta painted her a few paintings and numerous commemorative statues about her rise to power
* Grand Duchess Sipolasku I de'Ferrva (Estrik's son) - it was from his funding that she painted 'Saviour'
* Empress Dateriä III (the granddaughter of Empress Dateriä II and the daughter of Empress Grima X) - Vanyaretta made numerous works to decorate her family estate in Sanctum
Vanyaretta also famously designed the Kirúna Hymsoü, the crown of the de'Ferrva family, having been personally commissioned by Empress Estrik de'Ferrva. It was a set of platinum antlers with an amethyst.
