Lovers 1530

Albrecht Altdorfer's "Lovers" (1530) is a small painting that captures a tender moment between a couple. The man, dressed in a fur-trimmed coat, gazes lovingly at the woman, who is adorned with gold jewelry. The intimate scene, framed by a wooden railing, suggests a private encounter. Altdorfer, a prominent German Renaissance artist, was known for his landscapes and religious works. This intimate portrait, now housed in the Budapest Museum of Fine Arts, exemplifies his ability to capture nuanced emotions within a small format.
