EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, we are transported back to the Renaissance era in Germany as we witness a powerful display of devotion and patronage. Painted by the renowned artist Lucas Cranach the Elder, "Saint Elizabeth with Duke George of Saxony as Donor" is a masterpiece that beautifully captures both religious and political significance. The focal point of the painting is Saint Elizabeth, depicted with grace and humility. Clutching a Bible close to her heart, she exudes an aura of piety and compassion. Standing beside her is Duke George of Saxony, known as George the Bearded, who commissioned this artwork as an act of faith. Duke George's presence in this composition serves not only as a testament to his devoutness but also showcases his authority and influence during that time. As one gazes at his regal attire and confident posture, it becomes evident that he was more than just a donor; he was an influential figure shaping the destiny of Saxony. Cranach's attention to detail shines through in every brushstroke on this oil-on-wood piece. The richness of colors brings life to each character while emphasizing their individuality within the frame. This print from Thyssen-Bornemisza Collections allows us to appreciate Cranach's mastery even centuries after its creation. This remarkable work invites us into a world where religion intertwines with politics, where art serves as both spiritual expression and symbolizes power dynamics. It stands as a testament to Cranach's talent for capturing human
