1546
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Village Wedding: Jacob Hewmon is a 1546 by Sebald Beham, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This engraving shows four people in an outdoor scene. Two men on the right wear long robes and point at something. One has a sword at his side. On the left, a man and woman are mid-motion, like they’re dancing or fighting. The woman’s hair is loose, and the man’s hat has a feather. The woman’s raised arm and the men’s serious faces suggest trouble or drama. The date 1546 is written in the corner, and the names *Jacob Hewmon* and *Lawrencius Augstmon* are mentioned—likely the people shown. Look up Hans Sebald Beham, the artist who made this.
Sebald Beham (1500–1550) was a German painter and printmaker, mainly known for his very small engravings.
