Overview

This is the catalogue to the first exhibition in Britain to be devoted to Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472-1553), one of the greatest German Renaissance painters. Courtauld's Adam and Eve is arguably the most beautiful of Cranach's fifty or more depictions of the subject. It brilliantly combines devotional meaning with pictorial elegance and invention. This book explores the making and meaning of this Protestant and courtly masterpiece, and the contexts in which it was made and seen. The exhibition is described by The Independent as an 'exquisite show...perfectly self-contained, a sparkling example of (Cranach's) art and a delightful study of his most obsessive theme'
