Hypatia was a brilliant philosopher and mathematician, head of the platonist school at Alexandria in the forth century. She is portrayed here by Charles William Mitchell while she was humiliated and about to be stoned to death by Christians who intended to destroy any symbol of pagan knowledge. Love the painting, love the woman.
