EDITORS COMMENTS
Anne of Denmark, Electress of Saxony (1532-1585), is depicted in this stunning oil on canvas portrait painted by Lucas Cranach the Younger (1515-1586) after 1565. The Electress of Saxony was the daughter of King Christian III of Denmark and Norway and was married to the Elector of Saxony, Augustus II the Younger, in 1560. Cranach the Younger expertly captures the elegance and refinement of Anne in this portrait. She is shown wearing a richly decorated gown, adorned with intricate gold and pearl embroidery, and a matching veil. Her hair is styled in elaborate curls, and she gazes directly at the viewer with a confident and regal expression. The background is simple, with a plain gold fabric providing a subtle contrast to Anne's ornate attire. Anne of Denmark was a significant figure in the Renaissance courts of Europe, and this portrait is a testament to her beauty, status, and power. Cranach the Younger was a renowned painter of the time, known for his portraits of the German nobility, and this painting is a prime example of his skill and artistry. The portrait is now housed in the Art History Museum in Vienne, a testament to its historical and artistic significance. It provides a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the Renaissance period and the powerful women who shaped it.
