Lucretia is a painting by the seventeenth-century Italian artist Artemisia Gentileschi.[1] It is one of three paintings that Gentileschi painted of Lucretia, the wife of Roman consul and general Tarquinus, at the moment of her suicide. The other two versions are in a private collection in Milan (painted a few years before the Getty version) and Potsdam, whilst a work in the Museo di Capodimonte in Naples of the same subject previously attributed to Gentileschi is now attributed by its owner to Massimo Stanzione.[2]
The painting was acquired by the Getty Museum in 2021.[3] The price paid by the Getty is unknown but the painting sold in 2019 for a record US$ 5.3m.[4]
