During the 17th century she posed for a great Dutch painter whose famous piece hangs in the Rijksmuseum. Known for her intelligence, she travelled extensively and upon her death it is said that an Italian printmaker (who mingled closely with a famous Italian statesman) drew her dead body. Who is this model, and the two artists?

Um, didn't we just have a question about Hansken the Elephant (68893)? Born in Ceylon and drawn by Rembrandt more than once, when she died, her body was drawn by the artist Stefano della Bella, associated with both Cardinals Richelieu and Mazarin. I own a Stefano della Bella, but, alas, it's not of Hansken: http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/aria/aria_assets/RP-P-FM-1854?lang=en Jul 27 06, 8:02 PM

Yes, we, um, did, and, shame on me, didn't scour the last few before I posted it! Oh well, a Golden Bazookie for you, dear. Jul 27 06, 8:04 PM

This self-described murder victim makes a very brief appearance in a great work of Italian literature. Later, she became the subject of a 19th-century painting by an artist of Italian heritage and an Italian opera, too. In fact, the full name by which we know her was attached to her by scholars. What is she called, where does she appear in the work of literature, who produced the painting, and who wrote the opera? An actress who was married to a great Hollywood star at the time of her tragic death in the 1940s changed her name to the famous one she is remembered by after being inspired by the name of a pharmacy on Lexington and 65th Street in New York. What was the pharmacy called? She was a well known mistress of a king but not as well known as the one whom had a hairstyle named after her. This was the one who had several dishes named after her. Who was she and what were her famous last words to the executioner? Upon her death in 1967, who left most of her estate to civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr? She left her ashes to writer Lillian Hellman, who reportedly never claimed them.
