Lucas Cranach

Japanese: クラーナハ(英語表記)Lucas Cranach
Lucas Cranach
1472‐1553
German Renaissance painter. Born in Kronach in Upper Franconia. Little is known about his training period. Around 1500, he moved to Vienna, which was the major center of European culture at the time, and it was here that he produced his early major works. The religious paintings of his Vienna period, such as "Jerome the Penitent" (1502) and "Christ on the Cross," are tragic and full of tense religious emotion, making them stand out among German paintings of the time. "Rest on the Flight into Egypt," from around 1504, is a lyrical work that incorporates a depiction of the fresh nature of early spring, and it well displays Cranach's characteristics as a member of the Danube School at that time.

ドイツ・ルネサンスの画家。オーバーフランケン地方のクローナハKronach生れ。修業時代についてはほとんど不明。1500年ころ,当時のヨーロッパ文化の一大中心地であったウィーンに移り,初期の主要作品はここで生まれた。《悔悛のヒエロニムス》(1502),《十字架のキリスト》など,ウィーン時代の宗教画は悲壮で,緊迫した宗教感情がみなぎり,当時のドイツ絵画の中でも異彩を放っている。04年ころの《エジプト逃避途上の休息》は,早春のみずみずしい自然描写をまじえた抒情性豊かな作品で,ドナウ派の一人としてのこの頃のクラーナハの特徴がよく出ている。
