He became an agréé at the Académie Royale in 1769 and from 1771 to 1804 he exhibited regularly at the Salon. During his time in Italy, he became fascinated by Antiquity. He spent the years 1763 to 1769 in Italy and in 1768 – despite not having won the first prize – earned the favour from Marigny of being included for a year as a pensionnaire at the French Academy in Rome. ![]() After winning the second Grand Prize for Rome in 1760, he left with Louis for Russia that year but returned to Paris following the Empress’s death in 1762.

Jean-Jacques Lagrenée the Younger played an important part in the renewal of history painting during the second half of the 18th century. According to Marc Sandoz, the importance of our painting suggests that it was commissioned but there is no proof of this (Marc Sandoz, Les Lagrenée, II. From 1775, such themes became much more common with a preference given to episodes from Roman history (especially the period of the Republic, see Jean Locquin, La peinture d’histoire en France de 1747 à 1785, Paris, 1912, p. The choice of this subject from ancient history is typical for the time. The tragic end of the legend is well known: the rape and suicide of Lucretia. Lagrenée has described the moment when Sextus sees her, and is stupefied by this exemplum virtutis. Only one, Tarquinius Collatinus found his wife Lucretia, famous for her beauty and even more so for her virtue, was quietly spinning wool and watching over her home.

Livy claims that the people could not endure the rule of any of the hated race of the Tarquins, and thus the innocent Collatinus was persuaded by his colleague and the other nobles to resign his office and retire from Rome. Thus the grandson was surnamed Collatinus to indicate his place of birth or origin or nearest association.Ĭollatinus's time as consul was brief.

William Smith's Dictionary says that Collatinus was the son of Egerius, himself the son of Aruns (son of Demaratus) himself the brother of Tarquinius Priscus (who was the fifth king of Rome).

This revolt was led by the aforementioned Lucius Junius Brutus, an ancestor of the Marcus Brutus who conspired to kill Julius Caesar almost 500 years later. The last of these kings, Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, was overthrown in the year 510 BCE after his son Sextus Tarquinius had raped Collatinus's wife, Lucretia.
