"Lucretia" is a renowned oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Guido Reni, dated to around 1625–1640. The artwork depicts the tragic figure of Lucretia, a noblewoman from Roman history whose fate played a key role in the transition of Rome from a monarchy to a republic. According to the ancient accounts by Livy and others, Lucretia was raped by Sextus Tarquinius, the son of the Etruscan King of Rome. Her subsequent suicide spurred a rebellion that led to the overthrow of the Tarquin monarchy and the establishment of the Roman Republic.

In Reni's portrayal, Lucretia is often shown in the act of taking her own life, a moment capturing both her despair and her resolve to uphold her personal honor and that of her family, which she believed had been tarnished by the assault. Reni's interpretation is celebrated for its emotional depth, the finesse of its execution, and its subtle interplay of light and shadow, which enhances the dramatic intensity of the scene.

The painting is a testament to Reni's mastery of the Baroque style, characterized by its vivid expression of emotion, dynamic composition, and the use of chiaroscuro to emphasize the psychological turmoil of the subject. "Lucretia" by Guido Reni is not only a reflection of the artist's technical skill but also an embodiment of the cultural and moral values of the period, offering insight into the Baroque era's perspectives on virtue, honor, and the role of women in society.

The work is held in high regard and has been exhibited in various art galleries and museums, contributing significantly to the understanding of Reni's oeuvre and the broader context of 17th-century Italian painting. It remains an important piece for scholars studying the Baroque period and for those interested in the historical depiction of female figures in art.
