EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Reformation Altarpiece, a masterpiece created by Lucas Cranach the Elder in 1547. Painted with oil on panel, this polyptych tetraptych is housed in Stadtkirche St. Marien in Wittenberg, Germany. The altarpiece depicts various significant scenes from the Reformation era. In the central panel, we witness The Last Supper where Martin Luther himself appears as Junker Joerg, emphasizing his influential role during this transformative period of history. To the right, Melanchthon conducts a baptism ceremony with assistance from Cranach the Elder while Johannes Bugenhagen acts as a confessor. Intriguingly, at the bottom of the composition lies an image of Martin Luther alongside Christ on the cross—a powerful symbol representing their shared sacrifice and devotion to spreading Lutheran theology. This remarkable artwork not only captures key moments from religious history but also highlights important figures such as apostles and disciples surrounding Luther during these pivotal events. Through its intricate details and vibrant colors, Cranach's altarpiece serves as a visual representation of faith and remembrance within Protestantism. As we admire this print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to an era that forever changed Christianity through theological reformations led by courageous individuals like Martin Luther and Philip Melanchthon.
