EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Death of Lucretia" by Hans Baldung Grien, a renowned artist from the Upper German School. Created in 1520, this copy of the original artwork is housed in the Berlin Kupferstichkabinett. The image depicts a tragic scene from ancient Roman history - Lucretia's death. Lucretia, a virtuous noblewoman, was raped by Sextus Tarquinius, son of Rome's last king. Overwhelmed with shame and despair, she chose to take her own life rather than live with dishonor. In this drawing, Grien skillfully captures the intensity and anguish of Lucretia's final moments. The use of black line drawing on brown prepared paper adds depth and texture to the composition while highlighting the stark contrast between light and shadow. The artist also employs white highlights to enhance certain elements within the piece. This print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate Grien's mastery in capturing human emotion through his artistry. It serves as a poignant reminder of both historical events and timeless themes such as honor, sacrifice, and female agency. Published by ePurix Verlag Volker Christen under non-commercial use rights from Fine Art Finder via Bridgeman Images, this reproduction allows art enthusiasts worldwide to admire Grien's work without limitations imposed by copyright restrictions.
