A 14th C. fresco cycle in the Oratorio of San Giorgio in Padua by Altichiero da Zevio
(this search brings up several panels in the church, including three of the four Saint Lucy panels). You may find the fourth panel here. This video gives a nice tour of the church. Watch out for Saint Lucy at 3:44, 4:03 and 4:29 and 5:10 and 5:32, but watch the whole video to get a fuller sense of the space and extensive decoration of this little known, but incredible church, with scenes from the life of Christ, as well as from the lives of Saint George and Saint Catherine of Alexandria. You may read a scholarly article on the frescoes here.
A northern cycle of the life of Lucy by the Master of the Saint Lucy Legend from the fifteenth century.
A sixteenth-century panel of Saint Lucy from the altarpiece for the church of Santissima Annunziata in Florence by Perugino, this panel now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

A later sixteenth-century painting by Paolo Veronese, now in the National Gallery in Washington, D.C.
And a scholarly article about images of Saint Lucy in Renaissance Italy.
