"La Mort de Lucrèce" is a painting by the French artist Jacques-Louis David, completed in 1769. This work is significant as it marks one of David's early forays into history painting, a genre in which he would later achieve great acclaim. The painting depicts the tragic story of Lucretia, a noblewoman in ancient Rome whose rape 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.

In "La Mort de Lucrèce," David captures the moment of Lucretia's profound despair, as she resolves to take her own life to restore her honor and that of her family. The painting is characterized by its classical composition and the dramatic use of light and shadow, which would become hallmarks of David's neoclassical style. The emotional intensity of the scene is heightened by the stark contrasts and the careful attention to the psychological state of the protagonist, which reflects David's study of the human form and expression.

This early work already shows David's commitment to the principles of the Enlightenment, as he uses a historical subject to comment on contemporary issues of virtue, honor, and the corrupting influence of power. "La Mort de Lucrèce" is an important piece in understanding the development of David's artistic career and his influence on the neoclassical movement, which sought to return to the simplicity and purity of ancient art as a means of moral and aesthetic reform.

The painting is held in a private collection and is less well-known than David's later, more politically charged works, such as "The Oath of the Horatii" and "The Death of Marat." Nonetheless, "La Mort de Lucrèce" remains a critical example of David's early work and his exploration of themes that would define his legacy as a leading painter of the neoclassical era.
