"Lucrezia" is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Francesco Giovanni Gessi (1588–1649), who was a prominent painter in the Bolognese School and a pupil of Guido Reni. The artwork depicts the historical figure of Lucrezia, a noblewoman from ancient Rome who is deeply entrenched in Roman legends and literature, primarily known for her tragic fate that sparked a significant uprising against the ruling monarchy and led to the establishment of the Roman Republic.

The painting captures a moment of intense emotion and drama, as Lucrezia is often portrayed in the act of taking her own life following her assault by Sextus Tarquinius, an act that was said to have incited the Roman populace to revolt against the Tarquin kings. Gessi's rendition of Lucrezia is a testament to his mastery of the Baroque style, characterized by its vivid realism, dramatic use of light and shadow, and powerful expression of human emotion.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is believed to have been produced during Gessi's mature period, when he had fully developed his artistic style after his apprenticeship under Reni. "Lucrezia" is a significant work within Gessi's oeuvre, showcasing his ability to convey narrative and psychological depth, as well as his skillful handling of the chiaroscuro technique, which enhances the three-dimensionality and emotional impact of the scene.

The painting's provenance and current location are not specified in widely available sources, and as such, further research may be necessary to provide a complete account of the artwork's history and significance. Nonetheless, "Lucrezia" by Francesco Giovanni Gessi remains an important example of Baroque painting and contributes to the understanding of the cultural and artistic context of 17th-century Italy.
