Description |
Hanging and burning of Girolamo Savonarola in Piazza della Signoria in Florence in 1498. 17th-century copy of a contemporary original attributed to Francesco Rosselli. In a contemporary copy from Perugia, the scroll held by angels bears the inscription "ecce quomodo moritur iustus et viri sancti de terra tolluntur". This is a quote by Savonarolia, its addition amounting to a condemnation of the execution, while the Fiorentine original by Rosselli had the intent of minimizing the impact of the event, representing the audience in small, indifferent and otherwise busy groups. |

(active 1490s in Florence) Execution of Savonarola on the Piazza della Signoria 1498 Tempera on panel Museo di San Marco, Florence The monk Savonarola's activities, which were increasingly taking on the appearance of fanaticism, caused more and more people to oppose the preacher. He was put on trial in the city in which he had hoped to bring about a political and moral revival. Accused of heresy, he was hanged with two other Dominican monks on 23 May 1498 on the Florentine Piazza della Signoria, and then burned at the stake. Their ashes were scattered in the Arno.
