EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Princely Altarpiece" created by Lucas Cranach the Elder between 1510 and 1512. Painted with oil on panel, this triptych masterpiece is housed in the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen in Dessau, Germany. The central panel of this altarpiece depicts a tender scene of the Madonna and Child. The Virgin Mary, portrayed as a serene and loving mother, cradles baby Jesus in her arms. Surrounding them are celestial beings - angels and cherubs - adding an ethereal touch to the composition. Flanking the central panel are two smaller ones featuring saints from both genders. These figures exude an air of nobility and piety, symbolizing their status as holy protectors. What makes this altarpiece truly unique is its title: "Princely Altarpiece". It serves as a testament to its intended purpose - to adorn a princely chapel or private devotional space for members of high aristocracy during that era. Lucas Cranach's attention to detail shines through every brushstroke, capturing not only religious devotion but also reflecting societal hierarchies prevalent at that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and significance of religious art during the Renaissance period.
