Heartland

This week in Berlin, in Gallery discover this one.



made by Lucas Cranach the Elder as the label said



and now that i am back and putting things in a row, i found the pic remembered why i did took the pic and what the audioguide said about the myth , the interpretation of the paint. A dark story about suicide of mythological Lucretia.
There is a long row of paints with this subject and it was more common that i expected.




and many many more...

I think i can understand the one of the options of the named Lucretia of the Song.
In any way we always must have in mind the Cold War and the Nuclear weapons of the particular era that it was written.

Interesting, interesting..

Lives, get 'em FFS!

Yeah, she was raped, and her reaction is to kill herself. Was regarded a role model of virtue for women in Renaissance times.
Funny coincidence that you take this picture now, just the other week I was looking at some beautiful Lucretias in a Cranach exhibition in Munich.

Thanks, this was interesting.
