Cranach in His Time is now open at the Musee du Luxembourg in Paris and aims to increase awareness of a fascinating artist.

German painter Lucas Cranach the Elder was famous for creating portraits of important political figures and nudes of mythological and religious characters, such as Eve and Venus.

Within the latter category, he garnered a reputation for painting images that showed strong females looking sensuous yet unusual.

The installation explores the Renaissance artist's unique style and his equally interesting life.

It will remain on display until May 23rd 2011.

"Above all, the exhibition emphasises the richness and originality of Cranach's artistic career - a career punctuated by significant encounters with leading political and religious figures of the time," explained a representative from the arts space.

The installation is accessible from 10:00 to 20:00 local time every day, except Friday and Saturday when it closes at 22:00.

Admission costs €11 (£9.50), but there are concessions and family passes available.

Anyone arriving by Metro should alight at Saint Sulpice or Mabillon.

Hotel-Paris.co.uk features a wide range of options for art fans keen to book last minute hotels in Paris, including accommodation in the Latin Quarter.
