LabelBefore settling in Wetzlar, Germany, about 1515, Hans Döring trained in the Wittenberg workshop of the German painter and printmaker Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472-1553). This work is reminiscent of Cranach's portrait style both in the general composition and in the treatment of the hands, facial features, and clothing.Social Tags [?]cranach the elder [x] northern european renaissance [x] obstentation [x] wealth [x] [Add Your Own Tags]* Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons.
