Raphael. "Lucretia" Copper plate engraving on laid paper, after the original, by master engraver Amand Durand. Original engraving was created in 1500's. This impression is well more than 130 years old. Published circa 1880. This is not a modern print. The strike is crisp and the lines are sharp. Double matted and framed in a new moulding. Image Size: 5 5/16 x 8 5/8 inches, framed c. 13 x 16 inches. Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. Notes: The story of Lucretia, a Roman matron whose husband's praise of her chastity incited Tarquinius, the son of the Roman king, to rape her, has long attracted the interest of writers as diverse as St. Augustine and Shakespeare, who wrote a narrative poem about her. Lucretia, after her rape, called together her relatives and asked if she was at fault. Upon being assured that she was not, she took a knife and stabbed herself lest other women in similar situations cite her as an example. Brutus led a revolt against the Tarquin family and, overthrowing them, established the Roman Republic. The inscription in Greek proclaims a moral: "It is better to die than to live in dishonor." St. Augustine strenuously disagreed, attributing her suicide either to her sense of complicity or to her pride at no longer being the most chaste of all Roman matrons.

Introduction
The following informative notes are intended to assist Buyers, particularly those inexperienced or new to our saleroom.
Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything you do not fully understand.
Terms & Conditions of Sale
KCM Galleries believes, to the best of its knowledge, that the information presented in any listing has come from reliable sources. Such information is presented solely for the convenience of the Purchaser. KCM Galleries makes no warranties of any kind related to the information presented in any listing unless said listing states differently.
Certificates
Some lots are accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. If the Certificate is issued by a third party, that information will be in the listing and KCM Galleries accepts no responsibility for such certification and it is up to the bidder to exercise due diligence in determining the validity and “value” of any third party certification.
If a Certificate is listed but no third party is mentioned then KCM Galleries Guarantees the authenticity of authorship on the terms and conditions set forth below.
Definition of authorship - "Authorship" means the identity of the creator, the period, culture, source of origin of the property, as the case may be, as set forth in the line entitled "Artist."
Guarantee Coverage - If within five (5) years from the date of the sale of any lot or purchase, the original lot purchaser of record tenders to us a purchased lot in the same condition as when sold through us; and it is established that the identification of authorship (as defined above) of such lot set forth by the information provided on the verso is not substantially correct based on a fair reading of the information provided verso including the terms of our standard glossary, the sale of such lot will be rescinded and the original purchase price refunded.
Non-Assignability - It is specifically understood that the benefits of the guarantee are not assignable and shall be applicable only to the original purchaser of the lot from us and not to the subsequent owners or others who have acquired an interest therein.
Sole Remedy - It is further specifically understood that the remedy set forth herein, namely the rescission of sale and refund of original purchase price paid for the lot, is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy which otherwise might be available as a matter of law.
Exclusions - The guarantee covers on the correctness of the description of authorship ( as defined in paragraph 1 of the terms of the guarantee) as identified verso in the line entitled "Artist"; but does not extend to titles or other identification of offered lots or descriptions of physical condition or size, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, exhibitions and literature of historical relevance, which information appears below the line entitled "Artist." Although our best judgment is used in descriptions and due care is taken to insure the correctness of the supplemental material which appears below the line entitled "Artist." Guarantee does not extend to any possible errors or omissions therein. Any representation of value represents our opinion of fair market value assuming normal gallery circumstances. That is the level at which a willing seller (typically a gallery) will sell to a willing buyer with neither being under a compulsion to sell or buy. We do not rely on any auction prices to arrive at any value stated or presented to purchaser. We specifically exclude all auction prices in the value process.
