"Suicide of Lucretia" (1529) is a notable work by the German Renaissance artist Lucas Cranach the Elder. This painting is one of several interpretations Cranach created on the theme of Lucretia, a noblewoman from Roman legend whose tragic fate played a key role in the transition from the Roman Kingdom to the Roman Republic. The artwork is a striking example of Cranach's skill in portraying narrative and emotion, encapsulating the dramatic moment of Lucretia's suicide.

In the painting, Cranach depicts Lucretia at the moment she takes her own life, driven by the dishonor of having been raped by Sextus Tarquinius, the son of the Etruscan king of Rome. Her suicide is said to have incited a public outcry that led to the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of the Roman Republic. Cranach's rendition of the subject is characterized by his attention to detail, the use of vivid colors, and the intricate representation of fabrics and textures, which were hallmarks of his style.

The "Suicide of Lucretia" by Lucas Cranach the Elder is housed in the Städel Museum, Frankfurt, and remains an important piece for the study of Northern Renaissance art. It reflects the themes of virtue, honor, and the role of women in society, which were common in the art and literature of the period. Cranach's work on this subject is particularly significant for its historical context and its influence on the portrayal of such themes in the visual arts.
