The Story of Lucretia, c. 1530. The tribulations of the Roman noblewoman Lucretia, a well-known story from classical antiquity, is represented here in a northern setting. Assaulted in the background by Tarquinius, she is sorrowful in the foreground. At her side are her two brothers who will seek revenge. The style is closely related to panel paintings by a distinct yet anonymous master whose best-known work is the triptych commissioned around 1526 by Jacob Kanis of Nijmegen and now housed in the museum Commanderie van Sint Jan of that city

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Story of Lucretia" created by the Master of the Kanis Triptych, a Netherlandish artist from the 16th century. The artwork depicts the tribulations faced by Lucretia, a noblewoman from ancient Rome, in a northern setting. In the background, we witness Tarquinius assaulting her while she stands sorrowful in the foreground. Standing beside her are her two brothers who vow to seek revenge for this injustice. The style of this piece is closely related to panel paintings by an anonymous yet distinct master whose most renowned work is the triptych commissioned around 1526 by Jacob Kanis of Nijmegen. This masterpiece now resides in the museum Commanderie van Sint Jan in that very city. Crafted using pot metal and white glass with silver stain and sanguine techniques, this print captures every intricate detail and emotion portrayed within "The Story of Lucretia". It serves as a testament to both historical storytelling and artistic skill. Displayed proudly at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this photograph preserves not only an important moment in classical antiquity but also pays homage to the talent and creativity of artists from centuries past. Heritage Art/Heritage Images has beautifully captured this significant artwork for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its timeless beauty.
