About the Item
German Travelers - After Lucas Cranach, 1840 - Hand-Colored 19th Century Engraving
This charming hand-colored engraving, titled "Voyageurs" ('Travelers'), is based on a design inspired by the works of Lucas Cranach the Elder, a prominent German Renaissance artist. Produced in 1840 by the artists Vernier, Lemaitre, and engraved by Masson, this piece vividly depicts two travelers on horseback with a pair of loyal hunting dogs trotting alongside them.
The travelers, adorned in traditional German Renaissance attire, evoke the spirit of adventure and nobility, as they ride through a scenic landscape. The detailing of their elaborate clothing, the horse’s movement, and the accompanying dogs add to the lively and nostalgic depiction. The vibrant colors bring life to the composition, making it an attractive representation of 16th-century Germanic life, with a distinctly romanticized 19th-century interpretation.
