Lucas Cranach, Renessanssin kaunottaret, Renaissance Beauties

More about the book

Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472-1553) is considered one of the most significant German Renaissance masters, and his paintings are a matter of pride for any art museum. The Sinebrychoff Art Museum's exhibition 'Lucas Cranach : Renaissance Beauties' presents an area of Cranachss oeuvre that has received less attention: female beauty and nudes. The starting points for the exhibition concept are the only Cranach paintings in Finland: Portrait of a Young Woman (1525) and Lucretia (1530), both in the collections of the Sinebrychoff Art Museum. Cranach's style is easily recognisable and distinctive, and would today be described as a good brand. Exhibition: Sinebrychoff Art Museum, Helsinki, Finland (26.09.2019 - 05.01.2020).
