{"product_id":"59148-lucas-cranach-az","title":"Lucas Cranach: A-Z","description":"Lucas Cranach the Elder created around 500 works during his lifetime. With his portraits of Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchton, and as court painter to Frederick the Wise, he became one of the most sought-after painters of the Reformation. At the same time, Cranach was the first to translate the Italian Renaissance tradition of the life-size nude into art north of the Alps, as evidenced by his lascivious, barely veiled depiction of Venus, the goddess of love. On the occasion of the major Cranach exhibition at the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, Austrian writer Teresa Präauer explores the oeuvre of the busy painter prince from A to Z. Her gaze is directed not only at Cranach's art, but also at the society that surrounded him, the subjects he painted, and the events that shaped his development.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is also available in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.com\/products\/59149-lucas-cranach?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=a94298517\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLUCAS CRANACH THE ELDER (1472–1553) was one of the most prolific painters, printmakers, and printers of the German Renaissance.
