"Four Scenes From Early Roman History, Plate I Sextus Tarquinius Raping Lucretia (b. 78; Holl.130)" is a celebrated work by renowned German artist, Georg Pencz. Produced in the 16th century, this complex yet striking piece is a part of a series meant to portray historical events from ancient Rome. Each composition within the set showcases Pencz's skillful use of engraving—a technique that he perfected throughout his career. His meticulous attention to detail and his masterful for drama and emotion are fully displayed in this haunting depiction of a pivotal moment in Roman mythology.

This particular plate interprets the tragic tale of Lucretia, a noblewoman whose violation by Sextus Tarquinius, the son of the Roman king, sparks a rebellion that leads to the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of the Roman Republic—a seminal event in world history. Pencz captures the terrifying action with a keen sense of the dramatic, emphasizing the contrast between Lucretia's innocence and Sextus's heinous act.

Art historians have long admired Pencz's ability to render his figures and scenery in a layered, chiaroscuro style, seen in this work with a balance of deft etching and bold, dark lines. This work, therefore, serves not just as a significant entry in Pencz's portfolio, but also as an artifact providing insight into the methods and aesthetic sensibilities of Renaissance print artists. Despite its disturbing theme, "Four Scenes From Early Roman History, Plate I" remains a significant component of Pencz's oeuvre and a remarkable example of 16th-century German artistry. As of now, the artwork's location remains unknown, reflecting the unfortunate reality that many similar works from the period have been lost or obscured over the centuries.
