The narrative follows the assault on Lucretia by Sextus Tarquinius, which led her to take her own life to preserve her honour. Moreelse captures the immediate aftermath, showing the fallen figure of Lucretia on the floor, while an older woman, likely her nurse or attendant, reacts with visible distress. The composition is structured to draw the viewer into the private, domestic space of the chamber, where the bed and furniture provide a stark setting for the dramatic event.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoreelse, a painter and architect based in Utrecht, was well known for his portraiture, yet this work demonstrates his engagement with classical themes. The etching employs clear, controlled lines to define the drapery and the emotional expressions of the figures. The inclusion of Latin text at the base of the print provides a moralising commentary on the scene, a common practice in early seventeenth-century Dutch printmaking. The text reflects on the purity of the mind despite the violation of the body, framing the suicide as an act of defiance against the injustice she suffered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print is executed with a focus on anatomical form and the expressive potential of gesture. The contrast between the stillness of the deceased Lucretia and the active, mourning posture of the attendant creates a sense of temporal suspension. This piece offers a glimpse into the intellectual climate of the Dutch Republic, where classical history was frequently used to explore themes of virtue, sacrifice, and political morality. The work remains a fine example of the technical precision and narrative clarity characteristic of Moreelse's graphic output during this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-lion-chicago-joseph-pennell\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Lion, Chicago - Joseph Pennell — Joseph Pennell\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/der-mantel-walter-gramatte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eDer Mantel - Walter Gramatté — Walter Gramatté\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Paulus Moreelse","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58683928314191,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58683937849679,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58683937882447,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58683937915215,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58683937947983,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58683937980751,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58683938013519,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58683938046287,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58683938079055,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58683938111823,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58683938144591,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58683938177359,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Death-of-Lucretia_Poster_CompositorV1_1788602538883.jpg?v=1788603159"},{"product_id":"portrait-of-a-girl-known-as-the-little-princess-paulus-moreelse-1","title":"Portrait of a Girl, Known as ‘The Little Princess’ - Paulus Moreelse","description":"\u003cp\u003eA seventeenth-century Dutch portrait of a young girl with a spaniel, captured in formal attire by Paulus Moreelse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaulus Moreelse, a prominent painter based in Utrecht, produced this portrait during the early seventeenth century. The work depicts a young girl dressed in the formal attire typical of the Dutch elite during this period. Her costume includes a large, stiffened lace ruff, which frames her face and signifies the social status of her family. The dark, patterned fabric of her bodice contrasts with the delicate white lace at her cuffs and collar, demonstrating the artist's ability to render varied textures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeside the subject sits a small spaniel, a common inclusion in portraits of the era to signify loyalty and domestic virtue. The girl rests her hand gently on the animal, creating a sense of calm interaction. Moreelse employs a dark, neutral background, which directs the viewer's attention to the sitter and the fine details of her clothing. The lighting is focused, illuminating the girl's face and the intricate needlework of her ruff, while the edges of the composition fade into shadow. A heavy, draped curtain in the upper right corner adds a sense of theatricality to the scene, a common device in portraiture of the Dutch Golden Age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoreelse was a versatile artist who worked in various genres, though he is particularly recognised for his portraits of the Utrecht aristocracy.

Two female figures, representing Youth and Luxury, guide a winged Cupid through a dance. The composition is balanced, with the figures arranged in a rhythmic, circular motion that suggests movement and grace.

The print is a fine example of how artists of the time balanced decorative elements with narrative content, creating works that were both visually engaging and intellectually demanding for the educated viewer of the seventeenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-lion-chicago-joseph-pennell\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Lion, Chicago - Joseph Pennell — Joseph Pennell\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/der-mantel-walter-gramatte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eDer Mantel - Walter Gramatté — Walter Gramatté\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Paulus Moreelse","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58684581970255,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58684595077455,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58684595110223,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58684595142991,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58684595175759,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58684595208527,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58684595241295,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58684595274063,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58684595306831,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58684595339599,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58684595372367,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58684595405135,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Cupid-dancing-with-two-allegorical-women_Poster_CompositorV1_1788608849371.jpg?v=1788609245"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/collections\/paulus-moreelse.oembed","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
