Lucretia is an oil painting made by Artemisia Gentileschi around 1630. It shows the Roman woman Lucretia at the moment of her suicide. This work is one of three that the artist painted of the same subject. The other two are in a private collection in Milan and in Potsdam. A similar painting in Naples was once thought to be by Gentileschi, but its owner now says it is by Massimo Stanzione. You might also check out the J. Paul Getty Museum.
