Dear Sirs.

My name is Maraliz de Castro Vieira Christo, a teacher of Arts History at Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora. I have been realizing a search to my doctorate about a historic painting and the representations of heroes. I have been studying particularly a 1893 picture where a Brazilian hero, Tiradentes, accused by a conspiration against the Portuguese metropolis, appears quartered. I need some information that maybe you may help me to obtain. I know that the Scottish hero, William Wallace ( 1267-1305) also died quartered. Id like to know if there are representations of William Wallace ( paintings, sculptures, pictures and drawings) at the moment of his execution.

Thank you very much.
