Biography:
Lucas Cranach was born in Kronach, Germany, where his father trained him in draughtsmanship. He was appointed court painter in Wittenberg in 1504 by the Elector of Saxony and afterwards designed altarpieces, created woodcuts, and engraved coins. He also painted portraits of Netherlands royalty, Emperor Maximilian and son Charles V in 1509. Cranach was an advocate of the Reformation, painting a portrait of its forerunner, Martin Luther. Cranach was one of the most famous German artists of its time.
