DiaporamaPortrait of Charles V
Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472 – 1553)
Explore the captivating world of Lucas Cranach the Elder, a pivotal German Renaissance master known for his portraits, Reformation art, and mythological scenes. Discover his legacy!
The sitter is Charles V who, far from being idealized, is shown in a way which exaggerates his pronounced lower jaw. He is depicted as Emperor, wearing around his neck a heavy gold chain with the Order of the Golden Fleece. The image is very austere and was probably completed with the aid of assistants.
