"Lucretia" is a notable oil painting created around 1640 by the Italian Baroque artist Massimo Stanzione. The painting depicts the tragic figure of Lucretia, a noblewoman from Roman legend whose fate played a key role in the transition of Rome from a monarchy to a republic. According to the ancient account, Lucretia was raped by Sextus Tarquinius, the son of the last Roman king. Her subsequent suicide spurred a rebellion that led to the overthrow of the monarchy.

Stanzione's portrayal of Lucretia is imbued with the dramatic intensity characteristic of Baroque art. The painting captures the moment of Lucretia's profound despair, emphasizing her virtue and the gravity of her decision. Stanzione's use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, serves to highlight the emotional depth of the scene and the moral gravity of Lucretia's story.

The work is a testament to Stanzione's skill as a painter and his ability to convey complex narratives through visual art. His representation of Lucretia reflects the Baroque era's fascination with themes of virtue, honor, and the human capacity for emotion. The painting is also an example of the cultural exchange between Rome and Naples during the 17th century, as Stanzione was influenced by both the Roman Baroque style and the naturalism that was prevalent in Neapolitan art of the period.

"Lucretia" by Massimo Stanzione is considered an important work in the artist's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of Baroque painting in Italy. It remains an object of study for art historians and a valued piece in the collection of the institution that holds it, offering insight into the social and historical context of its creation.
