Lucas Cranach the Elder Stag Hunt of Elector Friedrich the Wise Art Print
Brandywine General Store
Archival quality art print of Stag Hunt of Elector Friedrich III the Wise, painted in 1529 by German Renaissance master Lucas Cranach the Elder to commemorate a royal hunting excursion by his most prominent patron. The composition captures the organized chaos of a noble hunt in full swing — deer driven into and around a creek, while riders and nobles line the banks with crossbows and lances, each awaiting a clear shot at a trophy stag. A city skyline stretches across the background, its castle visible in the upper right corner, grounding the scene in the grandeur of the electoral court. Cranach's reputation among Germany's nobility was built in large part on the striking realism with which he rendered game and antlered trophies, and this painting stands as a prime example of that mastery.
