Lucas Cranach the Elder ("Lucas Cranach der Ältere", 1472 - October 16, 1553) was a German painter and printmaker in woodcut and engraving. He was born in southern Germany and studied in Vienna, but then moved to Wittenberg, where he spent most of his career as a court painter to the Saxon electors. His work includes many fine religious examples and several portraits of Martin Luther, although he also painted secular subjects. Wikipedia
