From the front flap:
One of the most versatile artists of the German Renaissance and a close friend of Martin Luther, Lucas Cranach the Elder is the archetypal painter of the Reformation. His activities as a painter, printmaker and book illustrator reveal his distinctly individual manner, and his skill in many different media helped him to create a highly successful workshop.
Financially more successful than his contemporary Albrecht Dürer, Cranach's influence on the development of German painting was profound. His outstanding gifts are evident not only in his portrayal of landscape, animals and the female nude, but also in devotional paintings and portraiture, in his later work as chief propagandist of the Protestant cause, and in his inventive treatments of biblical and mythological subjects.
This handsome publication - the catalogue of the first major survey of Cranach to be held in Britain - stimulates our appreciation of the artist by bringing together works of many different themes, both sacred and profane, notable for their originality. Beautifully produced, the book contains seven insightful essays by leading authorities, and its many catalogue plates together represent the range and quality of the work of this important artist.
