"The Ill-matched Lovers" is a notable work by Lucas Cranach the Younger, a German Renaissance painter and the son of Lucas Cranach the Elder. This painting, created in the 16th century, is emblematic of the Northern Renaissance's interest in moralistic and allegorical subjects. The artwork depicts an elderly man being embraced by a much younger woman, a common theme in Renaissance art that serves as a cautionary tale about the folly of mismatched love and the dangers of succumbing to carnal desires.

Lucas Cranach the Younger (1515–1586) inherited his father's workshop and continued the Cranach legacy of portraiture and religious subjects, while also engaging with the socio-political issues of his time through his art. "The Ill-matched Lovers" is particularly significant for its exploration of human vice and virtue, a reflection of the period's preoccupation with personal morality.

The painting is characterized by its detailed rendering and vivid color palette, typical of Cranach's style. The composition effectively conveys the narrative, with the figures' expressions and body language adding to the moral message. The work is also an example of the period's gender dynamics and societal expectations, as it often includes symbolic elements that critique or satirize the behavior of its subjects.

"The Ill-matched Lovers" has been the subject of scholarly attention due to its representation of age and power dynamics, as well as its place within the broader context of Northern Renaissance art. The painting is housed in a notable museum collection and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
