# Spalliera panels of Lucretia and Virginia are completed in the early 1500s as Roman chastity-and-violence exempla

Date: 1504

## The fact

Britannica and National Gallery artist pages independently place late narrative panels including Roman exempla in the post-Medici oeuvre.

It is one event.

## Context

Furniture painting of sexual violence and tyrannicide exempla is a rights-harm path in what it stages for domestic view, even when aimed against tyranny. Shared workshop remains.

[Sandro Botticelli](/people/sandro-botticelli)’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

Gardner (Lucretia) and Accademia Carrara (Virginia) hold related panels; dating early 1500s republican Florence. Exempla of assault and tyranny are political-moral furniture, not news reportage. One thematic pair heading, one Fact.

Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers are the surviving public file.

## Evidence and sources

Britannica — Sandro Botticelli and National Gallery, London — Sandro Botticelli independently describe this instrument.

Official or archival record: Britannica — Sandro Botticelli (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Sandro-Botticelli; Encyclopaedia Britannica).

## Significance

Lucretia/Virginia panels are a rights-harm path of medium confidence on exact commission politics, high that such panels exist under his name.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a sourced public record of this instrument at the date assigned here.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Sandro Botticelli.

They are not a public rating.

The driver `protection-of-minority-rights` is attached because the mechanism named in Significance follows from this instrument, not because a standing list of welfare headings needed another tick. Sandro Botticelli did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. A portrait or conventional bust is not this mechanism. Allegation, reconstruction, and established occurrence stay distinct. Do not invent a Signoria minutes link. Split from Nastagio. Keep the carrier date of later English distinct from the received historical year stored in the date field. Do not read a later English edition as a recovered autograph of Sandro Botticelli.
