In this presentation, we’ll learn about art in the Reformation era, and then examine two famous sixteenth-century altarpieces by Lucas Cranach the Elder. Over the centuries, they have survived religious controversies, changes in political control, and damage during many wars. Still located in their original settings in Wittenberg and Weimar, these richly detailed paintings used the old tradition of decorated altars as a vehicle to show new ideas developed by Martin Luther during the Reformation.
