In Court of Assizes (1882) by Francesco NettiPinacoteca Metropolitana "Corrado Giaquinto"
In Court of Assizes (1882) is a work by Francesco Netti
It was inspired to a true story: the Fadda trial
A woman was accused of killing her husband
with the complicity of her lover
But... the scene is described as a show
seen from a gallery of a theatre
The painter highlighted the curiosity of women
presenting them like the audience of a show
Anyone want some coffee?
A detail reminds us that we are in Court of Assizes...
the crucifix and the writing "the law is the same for everyone"
