1546
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Village Wedding: Her Gregorius Mercz is a 1546 by Sebald Beham, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows four people in a small, crowded scene. Two women stand on the left and right, dressed in long skirts and head coverings. The man on the left wears a cap and holds a stick, while the man on the right has a feather in his hat and a sword at his side. Their clothes look old-fashioned, and the ground beneath them is rough and uneven. Notice the names at the top: *Her Gregorius Mercz* and *Marcus April*. These might be the people in the scene, but the artist signed it with his own initials, *HS B*. Next, look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more prints like this one.
Sebald Beham (1500–1550) was a German painter and printmaker, mainly known for his very small engravings.
