''Lucretia'' is a renowned oil painting by the Italian Mannerist artist Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola, better known as Parmigianino, created around 1540. The painting depicts the tragic figure of Lucretia, a noblewoman from Roman legend whose rape by Sextus Tarquinius, the son of the last Roman king, and subsequent suicide, were pivotal events leading to the overthrow of the Roman monarchy and the establishment of the Roman Republic. Parmigianino's portrayal of Lucretia is imbued with the emotional intensity and elongated forms characteristic of the Mannerist style, which emerged as a reaction against the harmonious and proportionate ideals of the High Renaissance.

In the painting, Lucretia is typically shown in the act of taking her own life, capturing the moment of her profound despair and moral resolve. The work is notable for its sophisticated use of color, dramatic lighting, and the sensuous rendering of Lucretia's form, which both idealizes her figure and conveys the gravity of her emotional state. Parmigianino's Lucretia is often highlighted for its psychological depth and the complex interplay of virtue and beauty, themes that resonate with the moral and aesthetic discourses of the 16th century.

The painting is considered one of Parmigianino's masterpieces and is a significant example of Mannerist portraiture, reflecting the artist's preoccupation with the expressive potential of the human figure. While the exact location of the original ''Lucretia'' by Parmigianino is not always clear in historical records, the work has been influential in the history of art, inspiring subsequent generations of artists with its poignant rendering of a classical subject through the innovative lens of Mannerism. As such, it holds an important place in the oeuvre of Parmigianino and in the broader context of Italian Renaissance art.
