(279.4 × 200.03 × 10.16 cm) (outer frame), Oil on canvas, Italy, 17th century, The Tuscan painter Domenico Passignano led a successful career in Florence and Rome during the Counter-Reformation. At this time, the Catholic church prized paintings with a clear message that inspired devotion in viewers. Passignanos naturalistic style lent itself to these goals. The sensual, earthy treatment of Adam and Eves bodies, the meticulously rendered fig leaves covering their nakedness, and the lush landscape of Eden add immediacy. Beneath the fluttering, sword-yielding angel who expels them from Paradise, Adam and Eve seem to despair to the point of physical pain. For their sin of tasting the apple, suffering has entered the world: women are condemned to painful childbirth and men must toil in the fields for

While Mercury stands nearby holding the coveted prizea golden apple (here transformed into a glass orb)Cupid aims his arrow at Venus, signaling Paris’s decision in favor of the goddess of love..

Lucas Cranach the Elder (Lucas Cranach der Ältere, 4 October 1472 - 16 October 1553) was a German Renaissance painter and printmaker in woodcut and engraving. He was court painter to the Electors of Saxony for most of his career, and is known for his portraits, both of German princes and those of the leaders of the Protestant Reformation, whose cause he embraced with enthusiasm, becoming a close friend of Martin Luther. He also painted religious subjects, first in the Catholic tradition, and later trying to find new ways of conveying Lutheran religious concerns in art. He continued throughout his career to paint nude subjects drawn from mythology and religion. He had a large workshop and many works exist in different versions; his son Lucas Cranach the Younger, and others, continued to create versions of his father's works for decades after his death.

The Flagellation late 15th century Lombardy () Evoking the solemnity of his pose and expression, Christ’s head and torso are delicately modeled in a sfumato technique of softly blended tones - in marked contrast to the more linear and less finished treatment of his lower body and that of his assailants. The drawing may have been produced by a Lombard draftsman, as the sfumato technique evokes the influence of Leonardo da Vinci and his followers, or an artist from elsewhere in Northern Italy. This sheet was among Robert Lehman’s first drawing purchases, acquired at an auction sale in 1923.. The Flagellation 459421
