Lucas Cranach goes to Hollywood

October 13 2011

 

Here's some innovative use of Old Masters in the opening sequence to The Borgias. Can you name all the artists and the paintings?

Update - Twitter art sleuth @metadadaist names the works, in order:

Van der Weyden Philippe de Croy; Bronzino Exposure of Luxury; a Cranach Lucretia ('curiously flipped'); a Cranach Judith; Ghirlandaio Zachariah in the Temple; Sabatelli Battle of Serchio; Caravaggio Death of the Virgin; a Hans Baldung; another Sabatelli; Boullogne's Triumph of Neptune (in reverse); Regnault's Execution; Anguissola, Portrait of the Artisti's Sister.
