Monday Morning Museum: Lucas Cranach The Elder




Lucas Cranach the Elder – Sunday 4 October 1472 Kronach, Germany to Monday 16 October 1553 Weimar, Germany

German Northern Renaissance Painter


I offer this Lucas Cranach the Elder portrait – Amorous Old Woman and Young Man, 1520-1522 – as proof that the older woman/younger man relationship is not a hot, new twenty-first century trend - it’s 500 hundred years old (at least)!



Last Monday’s Artist – John Frederick Kensett
Next Monday’s Artist - Francesco Lazzaro Guardi
