1546
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Peasant Wedding or the Twelve Months: 1-Fabianus Jenner 2-Mathias Hornung is a 1546 by Sebald Beham, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This etching shows four people in a rough, grassy area. Two men in armor stand with their backs to us, holding swords. One man in old-fashioned clothes is reaching out toward a woman who’s falling or kneeling. The woman wears a headscarf and a loose dress. The text at the top names two people—Fabianus Jenner and Mathias Hornung—and the date 1546. This looks like a scene from a story or calendar, not a real event.
