"The Suicide of Lucretia" is a renowned oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Guido Reni, created circa 1625–1642. This artwork is one of several interpretations by different artists throughout history that depict the tragic story of Lucretia, a noblewoman from ancient Rome whose fate played a key role in the transition from Roman Kingdom to the Roman Republic. According to the legend, Lucretia was raped by Sextus Tarquinius, the son of the last king of Rome. Her subsequent suicide spurred a rebellion that led to the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of the Roman Republic.

Guido Reni's portrayal of Lucretia's final moments is imbued with the dramatic intensity and emotional depth characteristic of Baroque art. Reni's mastery of chiaroscuro—the contrast of light and shadow—highlights the anguish on Lucretia's face and the tension in her pose as she prepares to take her own life, thus preserving her honor. The painting's composition, with Lucretia's figure set against a dark background, serves to draw the viewer's focus to the central narrative and the moral implications of the scene.

The work is a testament to Reni's skill in conveying narrative and emotion through his art, and it reflects the Baroque era's fascination with themes of virtue, sacrifice, and the dramatic moments of human experience. "The Suicide of Lucretia" by Guido Reni is not only a significant piece of Baroque painting but also an important cultural artifact that offers insight into the values and artistic sensibilities of 17th-century Italy. The painting is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered a poignant example of Reni's contribution to the visual arts.
