One of the greatest artists of the sixteenth-century, Lucas Cranach the Elder employed his talents in a variety of genres, including portraiture, etching, engraving, draughtsmanship and painting - more than 1,000 works are attributed to his studio. High quality reproductions of a generous sampling of his works are given close inspection in this volume that brings into context Cranach's contribution to the religious and secular societies, in which he lived. The author examines the full array of Cranach's oeuvre - the portraits and female nudes, for which he is most famous; his religious and mythological works; his hunting and nature scenes. Tracing the artist's life from his childhood in Kronach in Bavaria to his years in Vienna, Wittenberg and Weimar, she paints a vivid portrait of a rapidly changing world and a brilliant artist whose faith grounded his vocation.
