CRANACH, Lucas the Elder

(b. 1472, Kronach, d. 1553, Weimar)

	The Judgment of Paris c. 1513 Oil and tempera on limewood, 43 x 32 cm Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth
Cranach took up the theme of the Judgment of Paris as early as 1508 in a large-format woodcut which over the next three decades led to at least a dozen painted versions. The panel in Fort Worth is thought to be the first of these.
