The Botticelli Painting Dripping in Blood

It’s a painting dripping in blood, fit for a Shakespearean tragedy or perhaps a Hollywood blockbuster, like Gladiator, which does mirror, in part, an element of the story.
The great artist Sandro Botticelli created this work of art between 1500 and 1504 in his home of Florence in Italy. Its title is The Story of Virginia and is a Renaissance depiction of allegedly real events that took place in ancient Rome around 451 BC and which were recorded by the writers Livy and Boccaccio.
The painting can be viewed in Bergamo, Italy at the Accademia Carrara di Belle Arti di Bergamo, although it does tour from time to time.
