Lucas Cranach le vieux
1472 (Cranach (Deutschland)) / 1553 (Wittenberg (Deutschland))
Living in : Wittenberg (Deutschland)
Working in : Wittenberg (Deutschland)
If Cranach remains undoubtedly inseparable from the collective memory of the West for having stripped the decent and clerical virgins of the late Gothic period, he remains one of these famous artists, only through the mediation of one or even two of their compositions, arbitrarily chosen among a teeming production. Cranach is still astonishing today for his unique canon of beauty, or rather, which will not be copied after his modest emulators... Cranach remains the perfect representative of this German school that he helped to elaborate and in which the dishevelled pathos of popular religion is embodied in an anguished reading of the holy story.
