EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Altarpiece of the Virgin, also known as the Princes Altarpiece (right wing), created around 1510. Housed in the esteemed collection of Anhaltische Gemaldegalerie Dessau in Germany, this remarkable piece is a testament to Renaissance artistry. Painted by Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472-1553), a renowned German artist, this oil on wood masterpiece depicts Frederick III, Elector of Saxony and his son John of Saxony. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring these historical figures to life. Frederick III, also known as Frederick the Wise, was an influential patron of arts during his reign. This altarpiece serves as a visual representation of his devotion to religion and his role as protector of Saxony. The fur garments worn by both father and son symbolize their noble status within society. Lucas Cranach's exceptional skill in portraiture shines through in this painting. His ability to capture not only physical likeness but also inner character makes this artwork truly extraordinary. The presence of Johann "the Steadfast" or "the Constant". Frederick's son and successor, adds depth to this composition. It signifies continuity within the ruling family while highlighting their commitment to religious piety. As we gaze upon this stunning print, we are transported back in time to witness a significant moment in history – one that celebrates both artistic brilliance and political influence.
