Lucretia (Artemisia Gentileschi, Los Angeles)

Lucretia is a painting by the seventeenth-century Italian artist Artemisia Gentileschi.

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 is believed to date to Artemisia's stay in Venice in the late 1620s.

[3] A set of poems written by Giovanni Francesco Loredan in 1627 are believed to refer to this work.

[5] The price paid by the Getty is unknown but the painting sold in 2019 for a record US$5.3m.
