The Suicide of Lucretia, oil on canvas, 19th century
PLATINUM Seller in Milano, Italy
Item description
Oil on canvas. On the frame on the back is an autograph inscription in pencil with the improper indication ‘Copy by Domenichino’, and an undeciphered signature. It is actually a copy of the painting made by Simon Vouet (1590-1649) in 1624, and preserved today in the National Gallery in Prague. Vouet, however, during his stay in Italy, looked a lot at the painting of Domenichino and that of guido Reni, whose influence he was influenced by. The episode depicted tells of the suicide of Lucretia, wife of the Roman nobleman Tarquinius Collatinus who, kidnapped by Sextus Tarquinius, preferred death to dishonour. Of great pictorial and chromatic intensity is the painting by Vouet, which is here well captured, the unknown author knowing how to bring out both the female figure in her dramatic movement and the richness of the surrounding furnishings and fabrics. The painting shows traces of restoration and a tear in the top centre. It is presented in an early 20th century gilded frame.
