Dr. Martin Luther "Hier siehe ich, ich kann nicht anders, Gott helfe mir! Amen" [...]
Lucas Cranach Pinxt Fr. Muller Sculp.t
Inst. Bibl. Excud.t
Line engraving, platemark approx. 520 x 400mm (20½ x 15¾"), with very large margins. Uncut.
Martin Luther (1483-1546), theologian whose writings inspired the Protestant Reformation. In 1517 he famously published his '95 theses' attacking papal abuses and the sale of indulgences. Excommunicated by the Catholic church and declared a heretic, Luther's ideas were the foundation of a new conception of Christianity. He also translated the Bible into German to make it accessible to a larger number of people, contributing to the growth of the German language in the process. Engraving supposedly after Cranach, although far more in the idiom of the nineteenth century than Cranach's portraits of Luther.

[Germany] Melanchthon.
1532. [Monogram of Lucas Cranach the Elder.]
[Munich: J. Stuntz, c.1830.]
Tinted lithograph. Printed area 260 x 190mm (10¼ x 7½").
Philipp Melanchthon (born Philipp Schwartzerdt, 1497-1560), a German reformer who collaborated with Martin Luther. The painter, Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472-1553), was court painter to the Electors of Saxony for most of his career, a supporter of the Protestant Reformation and Friend of Luther. This print was published in 'Les Oeuvres Lithographiques', a huge series of reproductive plates of paintings, by Johann Nepomuk Strixner (1782 - 1855) and Ferdinand Piloty (1786-1844). Their work did much to popularise lithography, as they showed the technique could achieve all the same effects as other engraving techniques.

[Johann Friedrich I, Elector and Duke of Saxony?] Quadro di Luca Kranach.
Loren. Lorenzi del, P. Ant. Pazzi sc.
[n.d., c.1740.]
Engraving, 18th century watermark. 390 x 300mm (15¼ x 11¾"). Narrow margins, taped bottom left corner.
A man in a fur jacket with hat and a chain around his neck, which he grasps with one hand. The inscriptions state that this print was engraved by Pietro Antonio Pazzi from a drawing by Lorenzo Lorenzi, taken from a painting by Lucas Cranach. The BM identifies the sitter as Johann Friedrich I, Elector and Duke of Saxony, but there is little resemblence to existing paintings of the Duke by both Lucas Cranach the Elder (c.1472-1553) and the Younger (1515-86). These show him with narrower eyes and a prominent scar from his left temple to the base of his nose.
