Portrait of Beatriz Galindo
Escultura yacente, de alabastro, de Beatriz Galindo, actualmente en el Museo de los Orígenes, de Madrid. Esta escultura forma parte del cenotafio que la propia Beatriz Galindo, en 1531, encargó para el convento de la Concepción Francisca (de la calle de Toledo, de Madrid). Como es un cenotafio (tumba vacía) no fue enterrada aquí, sino en el coro del convento de la Concepción Jerónima, también fundado por ella.Credit: CARLOS TEIXIDOR CADENAS

Life & Legacy

Beatriz Galindo, sometimes spelled Beatrix and also known as La Latina (c. 1465 – 23 November 1535), was a Spanish Latinist and educator. She was a writer, humanist and a teacher of Queen Isabella of Castile and her children. She was one of the most educated women of her time. There is uncertainty about her date of birth; some authors believe it was 1464 or 1465. The La Latina neighborhood in Madrid is named after her.
