Tim Marlow at the Courtauld. Part One

Description

The Courtauld's collection of Renaissance art is one of the most important in Britain and includes works by the likes of Bernado Daddi as well as an enigmatic depiction of the Crucifixion by Sandro Botticelli. The collection is also strong in northern European art of this period, and the jewel of the early Renaissance displays is the Lamentation Triptych by the Master of Flemalle. The triptych is now considered to be one of the greatest masterpieces of early Netherlandish painting. But very little is known about the about the work and it is the subject of ongoing research at the Courtauld. But in many ways the star of the Courtauld's collection of Renaissance art is a depiction of Adam and Eve by German artist Lucas Cranach the Elder, a delicately rendered work that captures the moments before the Fall of Man.
