About the artwork:
In "Hunting near Hartenfels Castle," Cranach likely captures a dynamic hunting scene set in the vicinity of Hartenfels Castle, a significant landmark in Torgau, Germany, where Cranach spent part of his career. This painting would typically feature a group of hunters, possibly including nobility, engaged in a hunt with dogs and horses. The composition would emphasize both the action of the hunt and the detailed, lush landscape of the surrounding area. 6 replies
