EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate woodcut border created by Lucas Cranach the Elder in 1527. The border was specifically designed for the title page of Martin Luther's influential tract, "Das diese wort Christi (Das ist mein leib etc. ) noch fest stehen widder die Schwermgeister" which translates to "That these words of Christ (This is my body, etc. ) still stand against the heavy spirits". Cranach's masterful craftsmanship is evident in this piece, as he skillfully combines various elements such as antlers, books, bucks, cartouches, chalices, and elk to create a visually stunning decorative frame. The attention to detail and precision with which each element is carved highlights Cranach's status as one of the leading German artists during the Renaissance period. The significance of this woodcut border lies not only in its artistic beauty but also in its historical context. Created during a time when religious reform was sweeping across Europe through Luther's teachings and writings, it symbolizes an important chapter in both art history and religious reformation. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Granger Art on Demand, we are transported back to early 16th-century Germany where Cranach's work played a vital role in disseminating Luther's ideas. It serves as a reminder of how art can be used as a powerful tool for communication and expression even amidst times of great social change.
