Marcia
Artist: Domenico Beccafumi (Italian, 1484 - 1551)
Original Dimensions: 36 1/4" x 21"
Location: National Gallery of Art, London
About Artwork: (About 1519) "This panel is part of a series of decorations Beccafumi painted for the bedchamber of Francesco di Camillo Petrucci (b.1489), a wealthy merchant and landowner who was nephew of the ruler of the republic of Siena. The decorations were probably made to coincide with Francesco’s marriage to Caterina di Niccolò Mandoli Piccolomini in 1512. Three of the surviving panels showed Roman heroines – Marcia, Tanaquil and Cornelia. They probably originally decorated the back of a bench seat. Marcia personified the virtues of marital fidelity and wifely obedience as well as fruitful maternity. She was first married to Marcus Porcius Cato and then at his own suggestion married his friend Hortensius. When Hortensius died Marcia returned to Cato. The paintings of the three heroines each contain a Latin couplet in gilt lettering, most likely composed by the scholar who devised the decorative scheme for the bedchamber." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
