File 3women.jpg thumb 240px Tomb of Bassa, in the Monastery of Pedralbes, Barcelona. Ferrer Bassa c. 1285 1348 was a Spanish Gothic painting Gothic painter and miniaturist. He was active in the early 14th century, as proved by two documents which attest him working in two chapels at Sitges . Ten years later he worked for Alfonso IV of Aragon , executing miniatures for the manuscripts of the Uses of Barcelona and the Costumes of Catalonia , showing a strong French and Siena Sienese influence. His production increased during the reign of Peter IV of Aragon , especially under royal commissions, such as the Christ and the Virgin in royal chapel of Barcelona 1344 . His main surviving work is the series of wall paintings in the St. Michael Chapel in the Monastery of Pedralbes . It includes some twenty scenes basing on two main themes the Passion of Christ and the Seven Pains of the Virgin, showing Giotto Giottesque influences, as well as from Duccio di Buoninsegna and Ambrogio Lorenzetti . Also attributed to Bassa are a Coronation of the Virgin in the church of Bellpuig and a St. Bernard in the museum of Vich . His son Arnau Bassa Arnau was also a painter and collaborated with his father on several works. They both died of Plague disease plague in 1348.

Rubellia Bassa born between 33 38 was a daughter of Gaius Rubellius Blandus , consul in 18 and possibly his wife Julia daughter of Drusus the Younger Julia killed 43 or an earlier wife. Possible Imperial ancestry It has been theorized that her mother was Julia daughter of Julius Caesar Drusus and Livilla , which would make Bassa the granddaughter of Tiberius however, this lineage is uncertain because her father, Gaius Rubellius Blandus married Julia daughter of Drusus the Younger Julia when he around 55, which makes an earlier marriage likely possibly to a Laecania Bassa , and Rubellia Bassa may have been the daughter of Blandus by this theorized earlier marriage. Bassa had at least one sibling, a ?half brother named Rubellius Plautus Gaius Rubellius Plautus , who was one of the nearest heirs of the blood of Augustus being the grandson of Julius Caesar Drusus Drusus Caesar , who was an adopted grandson of Augustus . Plautus was forced to kill himself in 62 and his wife Antistia Pollitta and children were executed four years later perhaps because the children were direct descendants of previous Roman Emperors . Marriage and possible descendants Rubellia Bassa married Octavius Laenas, maternal uncle of the future emperor Nerva . Historian, Prof. Sir Ronald Syme claims that Sergius Octavius Laenas Pontianus , consul in 131 under Emperor Hadrian , set up a dedication to his grandmother, Rub elliae Bla ndi f iliae Bassae Octavi Laenatis Sergius Octavius Laenas Pontianus aviae optimae . ref CIL 14, 02610 ref ref Syme Tacitus, Oxford University Press, 1958, p. 627 8 ref This obscure link is perhaps a continuation of the both Julio Claudian bloodline in the 2nd century.
