EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Stag Hunt of Elector Friedrich III the Wise" painted by Lucas Cranach the Elder in 1529. The panel, measuring 80x114 cm, is housed in the prestigious Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. In this remarkable landscape panorama, we are transported back to a memorial moment in history as we witness Elector Friedrich III and his entourage engaging in an exhilarating stag hunt. The scene unfolds near a picturesque river ford, adding a serene touch to the otherwise action-packed composition. The artist skillfully captures every detail of this thrilling event - from the determined hunters armed with crossbows and hounds eagerly pursuing their prey to a boat patiently awaiting its turn to join the chase. Emperor Maximilian I himself can be spotted among Johann der Bestandige's company, further emphasizing the significance of this occasion. Cranach's masterful use of light and shadow breathes life into each element within this artwork. The majestic deer stands out against its surroundings while simultaneously blending harmoniously with nature. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we cannot help but feel transported back to an era where hunting was not only seen as a sport but also symbolized power and nobility. This piece serves as both a testament to Cranach's artistic prowess and an enduring homage to Elector Friedrich III's legacy.
