74. Lucas Cranach the Elder
(Lucas Cranach der Ältere, c. 1472 – 16 October 1553)
was a German Renaissance painter and printmaker in woodcut
and engraving. He was court painter to the Electors of Saxony
for most of his career, and is known for his portraits, both of
German princes and those of the leaders of the Protestant
Reformation, whose cause he embraced with enthusiasm,
becoming a close friend of Martin Luther.
He also painted religious subjects, first in the Catholic tradition,
and later trying to find new ways of conveying Lutheran
religious concerns in art. He continued throughout his career to
paint nude subjects drawn from mythology and religion. He had
a large workshop and many works exist in different versions; his
son Lucas Cranach the Younger, and others, continued to create
versions of his father's works for decades after his death.
Lucas Cranach the Elder has been considered the most
successful German artist of his time.
