"Lucretia" is an engraving by the Italian Renaissance printmaker Marcantonio Raimondi, created around 1510-1520. Raimondi, renowned for his technical prowess and collaboration with the artist Raphael, played a pivotal role in the dissemination of Renaissance art through his engravings. This particular work depicts the tragic figure of Lucretia, a noblewoman from ancient Rome whose story was famously recounted by Livy and later by various Renaissance writers and artists.

The engraving captures the moment of Lucretia's suicide, an act she committed to preserve her honor after being raped by Sextus Tarquinius, the son of the last king of Rome. This event was a catalyst for the overthrow of the Roman monarchy and the establishment of the Roman Republic. In Raimondi's depiction, Lucretia is shown in a state of emotional turmoil, holding a dagger poised to strike her chest. The composition is marked by its dramatic intensity and the meticulous detail characteristic of Raimondi's work.

Raimondi's "Lucretia" is notable not only for its artistic quality but also for its historical and cultural significance. The engraving reflects the Renaissance fascination with classical antiquity and the moral and ethical themes embodied in ancient Roman stories. The work also exemplifies the technical advancements in printmaking during the early 16th century, showcasing Raimondi's ability to convey complex narratives and emotions through the medium of engraving.

The piece is part of a broader body of work by Raimondi that includes collaborations with Raphael and other prominent artists of the time. Through his engravings, Raimondi helped to popularize the works of these artists, making their compositions accessible to a wider audience and influencing the course of European art. "Lucretia" remains a significant example of Raimondi's contribution to the art of engraving and the dissemination of Renaissance ideals.
