3710992 Portrait of Anna Buchner, nee Lindacker, c.1520 (oil on panel) (see also 3710993) by Cranach, Lucas, the Elder (1472-1553); 40.6x27.3 cm; Minneapolis Institute of Arts, MN, USA; (add.info.: For many years, Lucas Cranach composed his subjects in wedding portraits the very same way: a seated half-figure, hands in the lap, one resting over the other. Unlike her husband, though, Anna Buchner does not look directly at the viewer, which would have been considered immodest. Her body, draped in expensive garments, a pearl-studded tiara, golden hairnet, heavy gold chain, and a great number of rings with rubies and emeralds, was a showcase to display her familys wealth.); eMinneapolis Institute of Art; The William Hood Dunwoody Fund; German, out of copyright

EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Anna Buchner, nee Lindacker, a woman of wealth and status in 16th-century Germany. Painted by the renowned artist Lucas Cranach the Elder, this oil on panel piece captures Anna in all her opulence and elegance. In line with Cranach's signature style for wedding portraits, Anna is depicted as a seated half-figure with her hands gently resting in her lap. However, unlike other subjects, she avoids direct eye contact with the viewer to maintain modesty according to societal norms at that time. Anna's attire speaks volumes about her family's affluence. She is adorned in luxurious garments and accessories including a pearl-studded tiara, golden hairnet, heavy gold chain around her neck, and an abundance of rings embellished with rubies and emeralds. These elements serve as proud displays of her family's wealth and social standing. The meticulous attention to detail in this painting allows us to appreciate not only Anna's physical beauty but also the craftsmanship involved in creating such intricate jewelry pieces. The rich colors used by Cranach bring out the vibrancy of these precious gemstones against Anna's fair complexion. As we gaze upon this exquisite portrait print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness the opulent world of 16th-century German nobility through the eyes of one remarkable woman – Anna Buchner.
