''The Rape of Lucretia'' is a 17th-century oil painting by Italian Baroque artist Guido Cagnacci, depicting the tragic story of Lucretia, a noblewoman in ancient Rome whose assault by Sextus Tarquinius, the son of the last Roman king, led to her suicide and subsequently sparked a rebellion that overthrew the monarchy and established the Roman Republic. Cagnacci, known for his dramatic and sensual portrayal of female figures, captures the intense emotion and the pivotal moment of Lucretia's narrative with a focus on her vulnerability and the psychological turmoil resulting from her violation.

The painting is characterized by its vivid realism, heightened by Cagnacci's masterful use of chiaroscuro to create depth and volume, and his attention to detail in the depiction of textures and fabrics. The composition centers on the figure of Lucretia, whose expression of despair and resignation is juxtaposed with the aggressive posture of Tarquinius, thereby emphasizing the brutality of the act and its consequences. The artwork serves not only as a representation of a historical and mythological subject but also as a reflection of the Baroque era's fascination with themes of virtue, honor, and the dramatic interplay of light and shadow.

Cagnacci's ''The Rape of Lucretia'' is considered an important work within the artist's oeuvre and Baroque art, offering insight into the cultural and artistic preoccupations of the period. The painting is also notable for its influence on later artists and its role in the broader discourse of the depiction of historical and mythological women in art. Today, the painting is held in a public collection, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and historical significance.
