Tanaquil is an oil-on-wood painting by the Italian Renaissance painter Domenico Beccafumi, which depicts Tanaquil, a queen of Rome.[2] The work was painted by Beccafumi c. 1519 for the bedroom of Francesco Petrucci, Lord of Siena, part of a series which also included Marcia.[3] The painting depicts the queen together with broken architecture and dead plants.[4] She points to a tablet that identifies her as Tanaquil.[5]
