17th Century Venetian School. The Death of Lucretia in Front of Her Family
17th Century Venetian School, The Death of Lucretia in Front of Her Family Canvas 52 cm by 39 cm Frame 60 cm by 47 cm This beautiful painting seems to be the representation of Lucretia surrounded in particular by her husband and her father, just before committing her act. We can compare this painting to the hand of Carle Johannes Loth, (1632, 1698) painter of Bavarian origin who lived and worked for many years in Venice The Suicide of Lucretia After being raped by Prince Sextus Tarquinius, one of the sons of King Tarquin the Superb, Lucrera asks her husband and her father to come to her Spurius Lucretius Tricipitinus, father of Lucretia, accompanied by Publius Valerius, and Junius Brutus, her husband arrived together. They found Lucretia sitting in her room, overcome with grief. She began to weep when her family arrived. Her husband asked her if she was ill. “Yes,” she replied, “how can a woman who has lost her honor be well? A man (…) has defiled your bed; violence has been done to me, but my heart has remained pure: my death will furnish proof of this. Take my hand and swear to punish my dishonor. Sextus Tarquinius has done violence to me; he came last night with a weapon, not as a guest but as an enemy, and he left after taking a pleasure from which I am dying and from which he will die too if you are men.” They all promised, one after the other. They sought to assuage her torment, asserting that the culprit was not the victim but the author of the attack; it was the intention and not the act that constituted the fault. “Set yourselves the price he must pay; As for me, although innocent, I do not consider myself free from death. Never will a woman allow herself to survive her dishonor by the example of Lucretia. She plunged a knife she kept hidden under her garment into her heart and fell under the blow, dying. Her husband and her father gave a loud cry.
