EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a powerful and emotionally charged artwork titled "Lucretia seated, half naked, stabbing herself in the stomach with a dagger". The image depicts Lucretia, her body partially exposed, as she inflicts a fatal wound upon herself. In her right hand, she firmly grasps the dagger while holding a cloth in her raised left hand. The artist behind this thought-provoking piece remains uncertain; it is attributed to either Pellegrini or Louis Jacques Cathelin. Both artists were renowned for their ability to capture intense emotions through their work. Pellegrini was an Italian painter known for his dramatic scenes and intricate details, while Cathelin was a French engraver celebrated for his skillful rendering of human figures. The composition exudes raw vulnerability as Lucretia gazes upwards with anguish-filled eyes. Her act of self-inflicted violence symbolizes honor and virtue prevailing over shame and dishonor—an ancient Roman tale that has been depicted by numerous artists throughout history. This print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into the complexities of human nature and contemplate themes such as sacrifice, morality, and personal agency. It serves as a reminder of art's ability to evoke deep emotions and provoke introspection within its audience.
