In the representations below, composition is roughly divided into two groups: the psychological, which tends to focus on the lone figure of Lucretia, and the narrative, which tends to present an image of Lucretia within the story. The narrative group can be subdivided into continuous narratives and synoptic narratives: the former imitate a storyboard rendition of the story, following major figures through various scenes, a characteristic of Medieval art; the latter choose one moment of the story to focus on exclusively, a Renaissance preference which finally replaces the continuous narrative of Medieval art.
