Wonders Of Artistic Expression

I begin today with Christ And The Adulteress, by Lucas Cranach the Elder, dating to 1533.


The Virgin And Child With Saint Anthony Abbot And A Donor dates to 1472, and is by Hans Memling


The Lamentation is from around 1510, and is from the circle of Quenten Massys.


This one is by Massys. The Crucifixion is dated circa 1515.


I leave off today with views inside the Baroque Room, and a taste of things to come. This large space stands over where the Rideau Chapel is in the Canadian galleries, and contains works of a religious, mythological, and historical nature. We'll get in here tomorrow.

    I remember seeing some Cranach the Elder before -- I like his work -- the expressions on the faces are very alert.

    Love the colour of the walls. Brings the paintings to life.

    I remain struck by the colors, the saturated reds and blues of the paintings.

    Biblical figures in renaissance clothes… Why not! I must say I was surprised to see the red wall in a gallery. Most art galleries I’ve seen have white or neutral walls.
