Created in 1529 during the Renaissance period, this painting can be found in the esteemed collection of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg, Germany. The artwork depicts a powerful allegorical scene that explores themes of grace and law. In intricate detail, Cranach portrays two contrasting figures: on one side stands a figure representing Law, stern and rigid with an open book symbolizing justice; while on the other side stands Grace, gentle and compassionate with her arms outstretched towards humanity.
