EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1527 oil on panel print showcases the enigmatic Catharina von Bora, immortalized by the renowned artist Lucas Cranach, the Elder. Measuring at an intimate 39x26 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden. Catharina von Bora (1499-1552), a pivotal figure of her time, was not only known as Martin Luther's wife but also played a significant role in shaping and supporting his Reformation movement in Germany. As leader of the Protestant church, Luther's influence reverberated throughout Europe during this transformative period. In this half-length portrait, Cranach skillfully captures Catharina's strength and grace. Her piercing gaze reflects her unwavering commitment to her faith and dedication to advancing religious reform. The delicate brushstrokes highlight every intricate detail of her attire while emphasizing her serene countenance. This diptych print forms part of a larger composition that includes XOS 3247735. Its inclusion adds depth and context to the narrative depicted within these panels. As we admire this remarkable artwork today, we are reminded of Catharina von Bora's profound impact on Christianity and German society during one of history's most influential eras—the Renaissance. This painting serves as a testament to both Cranach's artistic prowess and Catharina von Bora's enduring legacy as "Die Lutherin. "
