1546
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Village Wedding: Egidius Herbstmon is a 1546 by Sebald Beham, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white print shows four people in a tussle on a patch of grass. One woman is grabbing a man’s arm, while another man in a hat shoves her back. The third man, bare-chested with a laurel crown, holds a spear and looks angry. The fourth man, also armed, leans in like he’s trying to stop the fight. The print is signed by three names, but only one is the artist: Hans Sebald Beham. The others might be characters in the scene. Look up Renaissance to see how this style shaped art and stories.
Sebald Beham (1500–1550) was a German painter and printmaker, mainly known for his very small engravings.
