About
Why this artist matters now
Painter and printmaker Lucas Cranach the Elder is considered one of the most historically significant German painters, and a canonical figure within the context of 16th century art. Perhaps most well known for his altarpieces and portraits, as well as his idiosyncratic and stylistic elongation of forms, his oeuvre is predominantly composed of biblically themed motifs as well as portraits of leading members of the Protestant Reformation.
