Item Details
Description
Early 20th century
Marked on the verso with a red Florentine Crest backstamp and 764
Depicting Beatrice Cenci within an ornate giltwood frame
Portrait: 6.25" Dia.; frame: 8.75" H x 9" W

Notes: Beatrice Cenci was a Roman noblewoman who murdered her father, Count Francesco Cenci. She was beheaded in 1599 after a lurid murder trial in Rome that gave rise to an enduring legend about her. Beatrice has become a symbol to the people of Rome of resistance against the arrogant aristocracy. It is related that every year on the night before the anniversary of her death, she comes back to the Sant'Angelo Bridge where she was executed, carrying her severed head.
