''Lucretia'' is a renowned oil on canvas painting by the Italian Baroque artist Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, better known as Guercino. Created in 1621, the artwork depicts the tragic figure of Lucretia, a noblewoman from ancient Roman history whose fate played a key role in the transition of Rome from a monarchy to a republic. The story of Lucretia, who was said to have taken her own life after being raped by Sextus Tarquinius, the son of the last Roman king, has been a popular subject in art, symbolizing virtue and chastity as well as political change.

Guercino's interpretation of Lucretia's story is particularly noted for its dramatic expression and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume and three-dimensionality. The painting captures the moment of Lucretia's profound despair, emphasizing her virtue and the gravity of her decision. Her gaze is often described as haunting, directed outward, as if seeking both witness and solace in her final moments.

The work measures 38 5/8 x 31 7/8 inches (98.1 x 81 cm) and is part of the collection at the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, California. ''Lucretia'' exemplifies Guercino's mastery of emotional expression and his ability to convey complex narratives through his art. The painting is an important example of early Baroque art and contributes to the understanding of cultural and historical narratives of the 17th century.

Guercino's ''Lucretia'' has been the subject of scholarly attention and has been exhibited in various art institutions around the world. Its historical significance, both in terms of its subject matter and as a work by a prominent Baroque painter, continues to attract interest from art historians and the public alike.
