These images by Lucas Cranach the Elder are very arresting. Despite
being 600 years old there’s something very fresh and immediate about them. The eyes
are compelling, the depth of emotion they convey; it looks as though they are
seeing all the world’s sorrow to the end of time. The paintings give me an urge
to write, and that is one of the reasons I am always interested in the work of
painters and photographers.
