Beatrice Cenci, a young Roman noblewoman (1577-1599), infamously murdered her abusive father, Count Francesco Cenci. Reni's portrait immortalizes her tragic beauty, while Carola Hohn's film portrayal brings her story to life. Contrastingly, an engraving shows the Cenci Palace and the Cappucini Monastery, where Beatrice sought refuge. Unknown artists captured her story in paintings, including the 1882 piece and Shelley/Chelsea's Study Cenci. Her tale of violence, vengeance, and injustice continues to intrigue, immortalized in art and literature.
