EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection captures a pivotal moment in ancient Roman history. Depicting Lucretia, the virtuous wife of Collatinus, and Sextus Tarquinius, it freezes time at the very instant when their lives were forever changed. Lucretia's expression is one of profound surprise and distress as she finds herself caught between her loyal husband and the nefarious Sextus Tarquinius. The tension in her face reflects the internal struggle she must be experiencing - torn between loyalty to her spouse and fear of this unwelcome intruder. Collatinus stands beside his wife with an air of determination, his gaze fixed upon Sextus Tarquinius. His protective stance reveals both love for Lucretia and a fierce desire to defend her honor against any threat that may arise. Sextus Tarquinius, on the other hand, appears smugly confident in his actions. His presence exudes arrogance as he gazes upon Lucretia with a mixture of desire and entitlement - traits that would ultimately lead to dire consequences for all involved parties. This print serves as a powerful reminder of how personal choices can have far-reaching consequences. It invites viewers to reflect on themes such as loyalty, betrayal, honor, and power dynamics within relationships. As we contemplate this historic moment frozen in time through this remarkable image from the Liszt Collection, we are reminded once again that even centuries later, human emotions remain universal and timeless.
