EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Lucas Cranach the Elder's masterpiece, "Le couple mal assorti - The Ill-matched Couple". Painted in 1532, this oil on wood artwork measures an impressive 108x119 cm and is currently housed at the National Museum in Stockholm, Sweden. Cranach's painting depicts a scene filled with symbolism and contrasts. The ill-matched couple stands at the center of attention, representing youth and old age side by side. Their mismatched appearances highlight societal expectations surrounding beauty and wealth within marriage. The man is adorned in lavish attire, wearing a hat, coat, fur, and jewelry that signify his affluence. On the other hand, the woman appears plain and modestly dressed. This juxtaposition emphasizes their discordant union. Surrounding them are various elements that further enhance the narrative of this artwork. A landscape can be seen through a window behind them while food items like bread, meat, pomegranates, grapes symbolize sustenance and fertility. Additionally present are scales as tools for measuring agreement or balance between two individuals entering into matrimony—a subtle reminder of compromise required for harmonious relationships. Lucas Cranach's masterful use of color palette and composition brings forth a thought-provoking piece that explores themes such as love versus materialism and societal expectations within marriage during the Renaissance era. This print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate every intricate detail captured by eFine Art Images while offering insight into German artist Lucas Cranach
