I had a chance to admire that Cranach just two months ago at Hermitage... what a great work... looks like tin has grown since then, though!There was that old Soviet joke about the artist who's work was pulled from the exhibition.
His friend asks what was on the canvas. He sez: "Oh, I had that blue-blue sea, and above - that blue-blue sky, and in the middle that golden sand, and on the sand a naked woman, with a boy liying on her chest..."
"So what's the problem? "
"They said too big a boy!"
Follow Ups:
which, though beautiful artistically, doesn't make one wish to risk eternal damnation to sample the female...
The personage pictured, btw, is my great-great (add 15 more) grandfather Tin. A wonderful fellow....
