Lucretia" is a notable oil painting by the eminent German Renaissance painter Lucas the Elder Cranach. Completed in 1533, the artwork is a compelling exploration of a decisive moment in Roman history. The painting portrays Lucretia, a noblewoman from Roman mythology who is frequently regarded as a martyr for chastity. Cranach’s depiction of Lucretia reflects the exploration of biblical and classical themes common in the German Renaissance era.

The painting features Lucretia, characterized by her traditional iconography, in the tense moments leading up to her tragic suicide. She is shown elegantly dressed in lavish clothing, a representation of her aristocratic status in Roman society, and holds a small dagger close to her chest. The juxtaposition of her nobility and her imminent tragic end is a poignant reflection of Cranach's expert storytelling technique in employing imagery to convey complex narratives.

Compositionally, Cranach uses a relatively sparse background, focusing the viewer's attention on Lucretia. The limited palette reflects the somber nature of the tale, yet there is a richness in the texture and detail of Lucretia’s clothing, adding depth to the overall painting. "Lucretia" is one of several paintings of the same subject by Cranach, displaying the artist’s fascination with the narrative of the virtuous woman forced into tragedy.

Today, the artwork remains an essential part of the Classical and Renaissance art canon, held in high regard for its masterful handling of complex themes of honor, virtue, and tragedy. It is currently housed in the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
