Human Nature in Art Form


"The Close of the Silver Age" by Lucas Cranach the Elder

I believe this is a close representation of human nature because this painting illustrates the essence of human beings being comfortable (in mind and body) with themselves showing off their natural nudity during the German Renaissance. It is also evident that their "rebirth" constitutes being as close to their natural selves as possible (women as nurturing their children and men as aggressive and more untamed).
