EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Lucas Cranach the Elder's masterpiece, "Faun Family Slain Lion". Painted around 1526, this oil on panel artwork measures 82.9 × 56.2 cm (32 5/8 × 22 1/8 in. ), displaying the artist's incredible attention to detail and skillful brushwork. In this scene, Cranach transports us to a mythical world where a faun and his family mourn over a slain lion. The faun, with its human-like features and goat-like legs, stands tall amidst the lush greenery of their enchanted forest home. His sorrowful expression reflects the profound loss they have suffered. The composition is carefully balanced as Cranach portrays each member of the faun family grieving in their unique way. Their delicate figures are rendered with precision and grace, emphasizing their vulnerability against nature's mightiest predator. Cranach masterfully captures both beauty and tragedy in this painting by juxtaposing vibrant colors with somber undertones. The rich hues of emerald greens contrast starkly against the lifeless body of the majestic lion lying at their feet—a poignant reminder that even kings can fall prey to fate. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Lucas Cranach's oeuvre, we are reminded of his exceptional talent for storytelling through artistry. This print allows us to appreciate every intricate detail while immersing ourselves in a world where myth intertwines with reality—an experience that will surely captivate any art enthusiast
