"Lucretia" by Lucas Cranach the Elder is a notable work of art from the Northern Renaissance, depicting the tragic figure of Lucretia, whose story is rooted in Roman history and literature. Painted in 1532, this oil on panel illustrates the moment of Lucretia's suicide, a subject that has been widely represented in art due to its dramatic and moral implications. Cranach, a German painter and printmaker known for his portraits of German nobility and leading figures of the Protestant Reformation, as well as for his mythological and biblical scenes, brings a distinctive style to the portrayal of Lucretia's narrative.

In the painting, Lucretia is shown as a virtuous and noble woman, taking her own life after being raped by Sextus Tarquinius, an act that led to the outrage that fueled the overthrow of the Roman monarchy and the establishment of the Roman Republic. Cranach's depiction is rich with symbolic elements and reflects the Renaissance interest in classical themes, as well as the contemporary moral discourse on virtue, honor, and the role of women in society.

The artwork is characterized by Cranach's use of vivid colors, detailed clothing, and a landscape background that situates the event in a specific yet timeless setting. His treatment of Lucretia's figure—both in her expression of despair and the manner in which she is clothed—reveals the tension between the portrayal of an idealized female form and the depiction of a harrowing, personal moment.

"Lucretia" by Lucas Cranach the Elder is housed in the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, Germany, and remains an important example of the artist's oeuvre, as well as a poignant representation of the Lucretia theme in Renaissance art. The work continues to be studied for its historical context, artistic merit, and the insight it provides into the cultural and societal norms of the time.
