Francisco Rizi

Francisco Rizi (9 April 1614 – 2 August 1685) was a Spanish painter.
In 1683, Rizi made the oil painting entitled Grand Inquisition, which showed Grand Inquisitor Tomás de Torquemada flanked by Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon as they presided over the auto-da-fé arranged at Seville in 1492 for the Assassins Aguilar de Nerha, María, and Benedicto. In 2016, a copy of it hung in the Council of Elders' meeting room.Assassin's Creed (film)

==Behind the scenes==
Rizi's painting used in the 2016 film Assassin's Creed is a stylized version of his actual artwork, . Its most glaring difference is the replacement of the central, fenced-off, open-air court with the execution stakes shown in three of Sevendalino Khay's concept pieces for the film. The partial green crest with gold writing on the right hand bleacher in the original work is also missing.

As clearly stated in the title, the area depicted is in Madrid, not Seville, and instead features King , Queen , and of Austria in the background presiding over an auto-da-fe on 30 June 1680, with Grand Inquisitor standing on the ground just left of their box holding a . According to (Chief Justice) , the stage architect and an Inquisition informant, the ceremony lasted all day, as recorded in great detail in his book, Relación histórica del auto general de fe, que se celebró en Madrid Este Año de 1680.
In the movie novelization, a copy of the real painting hung in the Council of Elders' meeting room, where Ellen Kaye correctly named the piece and the date of the events depicted, with Alan Rikkin observing that he thought the queen looked too old to be Isabella I.Assassin's Creed: The Official Movie Novelization – Chapter 8
