1546
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Village Wedding: Martinus Wintermon 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 rough, outdoor scene. Two men in the front are laughing and pushing each other, while one holds a basket. A woman on the left looks on, and another man in the back leans against a tree. Their clothes are simple, and the ground is bare with a few scattered plants. The names at the top, *Martinus Wintermon* and *Nicolaus Cristmon*, are likely the characters in the scene. The artist carved this image using sharp lines and strong contrasts.
