The serpent & the lamb : Cranach, Luther, and the making of the Reformation by
Steven E Ozment(
)
6 editions published in 2011 in English and held by 1,186 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"This compelling book retells and revises the story of the German Renaissance and Reformation through the lives of two controversial men of the sixteenth century: the Saxon court painter Lucas Cranach (the Serpent) and the Wittenberg monk-turned-reformer Martin Luther (the Lamb). Contemporaries and friends (each was godfather to the other's children), Cranach and Luther were very different Germans, yet their collaborative successes merged art and religion into a revolutionary force that became the Protestant Reformation. Steven Ozment, an internationally recognized historian of the Reformation era, reprises the lives and works of Cranach (1472-1553) and Luther (1483-1546) in this generously illustrated book. He contends that Cranach's new art and Luther's oratory released a barrage of criticism upon the Vatican, the force of which secured a new freedom of faith and pluralism of religion in the Western world. Between Luther's pulpit praise of the sex drive within the divine estate of marriage and Cranach's parade of strong, lithe women, a new romantic, familial consciousness was born. The 'Cranach woman' and the 'Lutheran household' -- both products of the merged Renaissance and Reformation worlds -- evoked a new organization of society and foretold a new direction for Germany."--Publisher's description

Lucas Cranach, the Elder : painting materials, techniques and workshop practice by
Gunnar Heydenreich(
Book
)
4 editions published in 2007 in English and held by 381 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This study provides the first exhaustive description of the materials, techniques and studio practices of Lucas Cranach the Elder. The author describes the characteristic elements of the painters production, drawing on results of technical examination, as well as an evaluation of documentary sources. Approximately 300 panel paintings are examined using a wide range of analytical methods. Furthermore, the author documents the breadth and diversity of Lucas Cranach the Elders unique contribution to 16th-century German canvas painting. The importance of this almost lost part of the court painters oeuvre is completely reassessed. This work is a contribution towards the history of Renaissance painting in Germany with regard to materials and techniques. It offers a detailed, deeper understanding of the various processes of artistic production in the workshop of Lucas Cranach the Elder. There is no similar recent publication on Cranach available (the last monograph on the painter was published in 1974). - Publisher

A parallel series of woodcuts, on opposite pages, from the life of Christ and from the activities of "Antichrist" (i.e. the Roman Pontiff), with descriptive letterpress below. The woodcuts, formerly ascribed to Lucas Cranach, are now attributed to Hans Cranach. The planning of the work was presumably begun by Martin Luther, but the actual selection of text was made by Philipp Melanchthon and Johann Schwertfeger
