1301. PORTRAIT OF SAVONAROLA.

_Unknown_ (Florentine: 15th Century).

A portrait of the great patriot-priest of Florence (1452-1498), whose

strange career is familiar to all readers of George Eliot's _Romola_.

Ultimately he was condemned to death, with his two disciples; and on

the back of the portrait is a representation of their execution. They

were hung on a cross, and burnt.
