German
painter
born in
1472
. Initially known as Lucas Müller or Lucas Sunder, he later named himself after his place of birth, Kranach in
Franconia
. During his early years, he probably studied painting with his father. At the turn of the century, he moved to
Vienna
. Some of his works from this time still remain. Whilst in Vienna, Cranach was inspired by
Albrecht Durer
, one of the
renaissance
pioneers.
In
1505
, Lucas was appointed court painter in
Wittemberg
, and he retained that position for 45 years. He was a prominent citizen and became
mayor
in 1537, partly due to his friendship with
Martin Luther
.
His style is revolutionary compred to the dominating '
Ars Nova
' from the fifteenth century - attention to detail gave way to passionate, emotional works with a more violent and sensual content (Some rather
Heavy Metal
ish renderings of chicks with swords, severed heads and stuff.), neatly capturing the
zeitgeist
of the
Reformation
.
Lucas Cranach died in
Weimar
in 1553.
Famous works:
Samson and Delilah
-
1529
.
Judith with the Head of Holofernes
- approximately 1530.
