"The Death of Lucretia" is a historical painting by the Italian artist Pietro Fancelli, depicting the tragic demise of Lucretia, a noblewoman in ancient Rome whose fate played a key role in the transition from the Roman Kingdom to the Roman Republic. Fancelli, active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, was known for his historical and religious works, and this painting is a prime example of his engagement with classical themes that resonated with the Neoclassical movement of his time.

The artwork captures the moment of Lucretia's death, illustrating the intense emotion and drama of the scene. According to the legend, Lucretia was raped by Sextus Tarquinius, the son of the Etruscan King of Rome, Lucius Tarquinius Superbus. Her subsequent suicide after revealing the crime to her husband and father spurred the revolt that led to the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of the Roman Republic. Fancelli's rendition of the subject reflects the period's fascination with virtue, honor, and the moral foundations of political systems.

In "The Death of Lucretia," Fancelli employs a classical composition, with careful attention to the depiction of drapery and the human form, to convey the gravity of the event. The painting's emotional impact is heightened by the use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, which was a hallmark of the dramatic style of the time. The work is significant not only for its artistic qualities but also for its reflection of the cultural and political ideas circulating during the artist's lifetime.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is believed to have been produced during the peak of Fancelli's career. The painting is occasionally studied within the context of Neoclassical art and its influence on the portrayal of historical and moral narratives. "The Death of Lucretia" by Pietro Fancelli remains an important example of how artists of the Neoclassical period used historical subjects to explore contemporary themes of morality and governance.
