Early Life and Training

Born around 1472 in Kronach, Germany, Lucas Cranach the Elder was a pivotal figure of the German Renaissance.
His father, Hans Maler (meaning “the painter”), provided his initial artistic training.
The specifics of his early education remain somewhat unclear, but it’s believed he studied with South German masters and potentially spent time in Vienna.

Career at the Saxon Court

He became the court painter and remained in this position for life, creating portraits, altarpieces, and woodcuts.
His workshop flourished, becoming one of the most productive artistic centers in Germany.
