EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print of Lucas Cranach the Elder's "Ill-matched Couple" we are transported back to 1532, when this remarkable painting was created. The unmatched couple depicted in the artwork is a fascinating study in contrasts and contradictions. The oil on wood masterpiece measures an impressive height of 108 cm (42.5 inches) and width of 119 cm (46.8 inches), allowing us to fully appreciate the intricate details and skillful brushwork employed by Cranach. The composition showcases a man and woman standing side by side, their differences strikingly apparent. The man, dressed in lavish attire with a confident stance, exudes power and wealth. In contrast, his female counterpart appears plain and modestly dressed, her body language conveying vulnerability. What makes this painting particularly intriguing is its ambiguous narrative. Is it a depiction of an arranged marriage or perhaps a transactional relationship? The inclusion of inscriptions such as "Payment" further adds to the mystery surrounding these ill-matched individuals. Cranach's masterful use of light and shadow creates depth within the piece while drawing attention to specific elements like the winged snake master mark that he signed along with the year 1532. This print from Liszt Collection allows art enthusiasts to bring home a piece of history while pondering over the complexities presented by Cranach's Ill-matched Couple.
