EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite title page of Biblia, translated by Martin Luther and illustrated by Lucas Cranach the Younger. The fine pictorial border surrounding the title page adds a touch of elegance to this religious masterpiece. Printed on vellum in Wittenberg between 1560-1561, this woodcut print measures 38x24 cm. The image captures the intricate details of the artwork, highlighting its close-up view. The black and white color scheme creates a timeless aesthetic that transports viewers back to the 16th century. The absence of people allows us to focus solely on the beauty and significance of this historical piece. Lucas Cranach's skillful drawing brings biblical scenes to life within this elaborate border.
