The story of Sophonisba has been an inspiration to artists, writers, and even filmmakers since the 1300s.
DESCRIPTION
When a Roman general seized Sophonisba as war booty, her husband encouraged her to die with dignity rather than become a captive. She chose suicide by poison. As depicted in the painting, the toxin has just begun to take effect, and she uneasily maintains composure while penning a suicide note.
