Lucas Cranach
1472-1553
Lucas Cranach was a close friend of Martin Luther (they were godfathers of each other’s children) and became one of the most important artists of his day. Cranach is a model of a layman who applied his faith in his secular vocation, impacting the culture with his Biblical worldview and his Lutheran convictions.
Cranach signed his works with his family seal – a dragon bearing a ring, symbolizing Christ’s redemption of sinners – which is the logo of the Cranach Institute.
