Summary: Lucas Cranach the Elder (c. 1472-1553) not only ranks amongst the most eminent protagonists of German Renaissance, but was also undoubtedly the most productive of all. To this day his legacy of more than 1,500 paintings testify to his enduring creativity and the enormous range of his innovative pictorial ideas. Scheduled to coincide with the climax of the Martin Luther decade in 2017, the exhibition, which is conceived in collaboration with the Cranach Digital Archive, illuminates the important role which Cranach played in the spread of the Reformation, as well as demonstrating how shrewdly he acted within the network of artists and princely patrons of his time. Further, latest art technological and archive research will offer fascinating insights into the painter’s day-to-day work. The exhibition traces the influence of Cranach’s lively pictorial language, which extends as far as modern and contemporary art, encompassing artists such as Delacroix, Picasso, Corinth, Kirchner or Warhol, who all engaged in a creative dialogue with the Wittenberg painter.
