Tarquinius and Lukretia

The painting "Tarquinius and Lucretia" by Artemisia Gentileschi has been located in the Neues Palais im Park Sanssouci since its acquisition by Frederick the Great before 1769. Frederick acquired the painting together with other works by Italian artists in the aftermath of the Seven Years' War and had it permanently installed in the Great Hall of the New Palace - not knowing that it was the work of a woman.
The works have not been on display in the New Palace for some time due to renovation work, and will not be on display for some years to come. It was not until 2019 that "Tarquinius and Lucretia" was removed and has since undergone extensive restoration, which has allowed the original face of Tarquinius to be uncovered, which had been painted over in the course of time.
