The Martyrdom of St Felicia and her seven children
The tenth fresco. In the background is the Roman Forum. Felicia and her seven children are tortured and killed in different ways (A, B, C). The picture also features other martyrs, for example Pope Pius is seen on the left (D). The text above reads "In. paucis. vexati. in. multis bene. disponentur. Sap.III". ("They have been chastened a little, but will receive great blessings..." Book of Wisdom 3,5).
