Hypatia of Alexandria as seen by Great Painters and sculptors

Hypatia (c. 370 - 415) was an Egyptian-born Greek philosopher and mathematician.
She was the most beautiful, the most virtuous, and the most learned lady in her time.
Cyril, a notable Alexandrian bishop, accused her publicly as an idol-worshipper. Consequently, a Christian mob kidnapped her and stripped her naked before scraping Hypatia’s flesh with oyster shells. Finally she was torn to pieces.
To this day she is seen as a martyr for philosophy and an icon for women’s rights.
