It is Ginevra Cantofoli the painter of the masterpiece known as the "Portrait of Beatrice Cenci"!

A long historical tradition has identified Beatrice Cenci in this portrait.

Formerly attributed to Guido Reni, it is now attributed to Italian Baroque painter Ginevra Cantofoli (Bologna 1618-1672).

The girl turns to us with an appealing and innocent gaze that reminds us of her tragic fate.

After years of oppression and abduction in a castle, Beatrice supported by her brothers and stepmother planned the murder of her father, Francesco Cenci, who was a dissolute and deprived man.
