EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait captures the elegant and refined beauty of Princess Catherine of Brunswick-Grubenhagen, painted by the renowned German artist Lucas Cranach the Younger around 1540-1541. The Princess, born in 1524, was the daughter of Duke Henry II of Brunswick-Grubenhagen and his wife Catherine of Mecklenburg. The painting, now housed in the Collection of the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Reims, France, is a testament to Cranach's exceptional artistic skill. The portrait is believed to have been painted during Catherine's time at the court of Duke Albrecht VII of Mecklenburg, where she was betrothed to his son, Duke Ulrich. The portrait is executed in tempera and pastel on cardboard, a technique that Cranach mastered during his apprenticeship with his father, Lucas Cranach the Elder. The artist expertly captures the Princess's youthful and radiant complexion, her delicate features, and her expressive eyes that convey a sense of intelligence and sensitivity. Her attire, adorned with intricate lace and pearls, reflects the opulence and elegance of the Renaissance period. Cranach's portrait of Princess Catherine is a remarkable work of art that not only showcases the artist's technical prowess but also his ability to capture the essence of his subject. The painting offers a glimpse into the life of a young noblewoman of the Renaissance era and serves as a reminder of the artistic brilliance of Lucas Cranach the Younger.
