Today, Cranach’s legacy fascinates us more than ever and forges a connection to those who lived during the Reformation.

The Klassik Stiftung Weimar presents works by Cranach in the Renaissance Hall of the Herzogin Anna Amalia Bibliothek. The exhibition will include works by Lucas Cranach the Elder, the Younger, and their shared workshop, which was one of the most prolific in art history. It produced thousands of artworks – more than any previous artist. There was no medium that Cranach had not mastered, and each will be represented in the exhibition – paintings, graphic works, illustrated books and medals. For Cranach’s contemporaries, these works produced an overwhelming and unprecedented torrent of images.
