"Lucretia" is a notable engraving created by the German Renaissance artist Georg Pencz, who was active during the early to mid-16th century. Pencz, a prominent figure among the so-called "Little Masters," was known for his intricate and finely detailed engravings, which often depicted classical and mythological themes. The engraving of Lucretia is a prime example of his skill and thematic interests.

The subject of the engraving, Lucretia, is a legendary figure from ancient Roman history. According to the historical accounts, Lucretia was a noblewoman whose tragic fate played a crucial role in the transition from the Roman Kingdom to the Roman Republic. She was raped by Sextus Tarquinius, the son of the last Roman king, Tarquin the Proud. In the aftermath of this assault, Lucretia took her own life, an act that spurred a revolt against the monarchy and ultimately led to the establishment of the Roman Republic.

Pencz's depiction of Lucretia captures the moment of her suicide, a poignant and dramatic scene that has been a popular subject in Western art. The engraving showcases Pencz's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey deep emotion through the medium of print. Lucretia is often portrayed with a dagger, poised to end her life, her expression a mix of sorrow and resolute determination. The composition typically includes classical architectural elements and rich textures, highlighting Pencz's mastery of the engraving technique.

Georg Pencz's "Lucretia" not only reflects the artist's technical prowess but also his engagement with the humanist themes of his time. The work resonates with the Renaissance fascination with antiquity and the moral and ethical questions posed by classical stories. Through this engraving, Pencz contributes to the enduring legacy of Lucretia's story, emphasizing themes of virtue, honor, and the tragic consequences of tyranny.
