Resting nymph by Lucas Cranach

Resting nymph by Lucas Cranach

The picture “Resting nymph” or otherwise “Nymph source” artist Lucas Cranach wrote in the 1530’s. The size of the work is 77 x 121.5 cm, wood, oil. After the first third of the 16th century, the image of the artist constantly repeats the image of a blond, thin woman with reddish hair, a narrow cut of eyes, a curved body, cutesy movements.

The conditional idealization of images is combined with the naturalism of details. “Resting nymph” – one of these paintings. Perhaps, the artist depicted on her is not just the source nymph, but the goddess Diana or Venus herself. One thing is clear: this tender creature is dangerous, and it would be better for a traveler, who went to a dark forest, to bypass the side of his possession. The Latin inscription on the edge of the pool warns: “I, the source nymph, rest.” Do not you dare disturb my dream. “
