Cranach Last Judgment
techniek: Oil on Limewood, 163 x 58 cm
At the end of the first quarter of the sixteenth century Lucas Cranach painted a copy of Bosch’s famous Last Judgment in Vienna. The painting is meticulously copied after the original, both in shapes and colours, leaving no doubt that it was indeed the Vienna painting that formed the model for Cranach. The outside of the wings Cranach did not copy from Bosch. He replaced the Saints Hippolyte and James with life size figures of Christ and Mary. Due to the condition of the triptych it has not been possible to document the exterior of its wings. Unfortunately nothing is known about the circumstances under which the Cranach studio carried out this replica. |  |
