The Portrait of a Ghost: The Story of Beatrice Cenci uncovers the real-life story of a young noblewoman of the Renaissance who enacted revenge against her abusive father—and the injustice she suffered in the wake of it. Learn about the ways her legacy lives on through ghost stories, a play written by Percy B. Shelley, and a portrait that was wrongly attributed to a male artist. The lecture is approximately 1 hour long and will be followed by a Q&A.
