Works Of The Old Masters

 Today I begin with another work by Lucas Cranach The Elder. Christ And The Adulteress dates to 1533.

Hans Baldung Grien created the dark, compelling painting Eve, the Serpent, and Death between 1510-15.

This is a portrait by Titian. Daniele Barbaro dates to 1545.

Jacopo Tintoretto painted Portrait of an Elderly Man between 1565-75.

Lastly today, another portrait. Bartholomeo Veneto painted Portrait of a Young Lady between 1520-30.

I'll be back with this series after the theme day. Tomorrow is something different.

  16. Amazing ... we live in places with no real “high culture”, so your guided tours are appreciated ! You are a good docent!
