"Lucretia" is a poignant oil painting created in 1666 by the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn. This masterful work is one of two paintings by Rembrandt that depict the tragic Roman heroine Lucretia, a figure from ancient history whose story was recounted by Livy and other classical authors. The painting captures the moment of Lucretia's despair following her rape by Sextus Tarquinius, the son of the last king of Rome, an event that led to her suicide and subsequently incited the revolt that resulted in the establishment of the Roman Republic.

In this composition, Rembrandt portrays Lucretia in a highly emotional and intimate manner, emphasizing her inner turmoil and tragic resolve. She is depicted standing, with a dagger in her right hand and her left hand clutching her robe, which is stained with blood. Her face is marked by a profound expression of sorrow and resignation, her eyes conveying the depth of her suffering. The background is dark and subdued, drawing the viewer's focus entirely on Lucretia and her dramatic plight.

Rembrandt's use of light and shadow in "Lucretia" is particularly notable, as it enhances the emotional intensity of the scene. The light falls softly on her face and upper body, highlighting her pale skin and the rich textures of her clothing, while the surrounding darkness adds to the painting's somber mood. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey complex human emotions through subtle facial expressions and body language are evident in this work.

"Lucretia" is housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, where it continues to be a subject of admiration and study. The painting is a testament to Rembrandt's skill in capturing the human condition and his deep empathy for his subjects, making it a significant piece in the canon of Western art.
