Hall 20. Lucas Cranach (1472-1553). Adam and Eve, 1528. Lucas Cranach differs from his contemporary Dürer by his more direct relationship with the Gothic and expressionist tradition that characterizes the German Art. His figures show a more nervous stretching of animated forms, through a delicate and shiver sensuality.
