EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the tragic tale of Lucrece's death, a Roman lady from the 6th century BC. Lucrece, also known as Lucrezia or Lucretia, fell victim to violence at the hands of her cousin Sextus Tarquin, son of Tarquin the Superb. In a heart-wrenching act of despair and defiance, she took her own life in front of her husband Lucius Tarquinius Collatinus (Tarquin Collatin) using a dagger. The engraving was created in 1871 by an unknown French artist for "Histoire Des Cocuses Celebres" written by Henry de Kock. It portrays the poignant moment when Lucrece made this fateful decision that would forever change history. Lucrece's story has resonated throughout time as a symbol of honor and sacrifice. Her untimely demise sparked outrage among Romans and played a significant role in their uprising against tyranny. In this print, Stefano Bianchetti skillfully captures the emotional intensity surrounding Lucrece's final moments. The intricate details and masterful composition draw viewers into this ancient tragedy, evoking empathy for both Lucrece and those affected by her fate. As we gaze upon this haunting image, we are reminded of the enduring power of art to immortalize stories that continue to captivate our hearts and minds centuries later.
