This violent work, attributed in the inventory to Titian, depicts one of early Rome’s founding episodes in flagrante. It was given to Charles I by the Earl of Arundel along with painting no. 2 in this room (Titian’s Jacopo Pesaro).

Van der Doort recorded the Tarquin and Lucretia as defaced or damaged and the work is now considered the product of Titian and his workshop, with another version in the Fitzwilliam Museum.
