Cranach, Lucas: translation

(the Elder, 1472-1553)
   German painter, print-maker, and illustrator of books. He was born at Kronach in Bavaria and trained by his father but came under the influence of the greatest German Renaissance artist, Albrecht Dürer. He lived for about two years in Vienna, where he absorbed the influence of the humanist circle dominated by Conrad Celtis and began producing religious paintings and landscapes. His well-known Flight into Egypt (1504) combines a religious theme and a landscape in a way that attracted attention from other German artists. About 1504 he settled in Wittenberg, where he became court painter to Frederick the Wise, elector of Saxony.Cranach was strongly attracted to Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation. He painted several portraits of Luther and made illustrations for Luther's German Bible and for Lutheran religious tracts. Luther did not approve the iconoclastic policies of many other Protestant leaders. He endorsed Cranach's work and encouraged him to create a style appropriate for Evangelical religious sentiment.
   Cranach became a successful artistic entrepreneur, employing his sons Hans and Lucas the Younger as well as a number of apprentices in a large and productive workshop. Later in life he also painted allegories that incorporated mythological and secular elements such as female nudes that show the influence of Italian art, but without capturing the cultural and iconographic sensibility of his Italian predecessors. In the best-known of these allegories, The Judgment of Paris (1530), the theme and the gently erotic female nudes express Italian influence, but Paris appears as a German knight in modern armor; and the three nude damsels are naked Northern women, not classical nudes, while the background is a clearly German landscape.

Cranach, Lucas: übersetzung

Cranach, Lucas, einer der vorzüglichsten Maler altdeutscher Schule, 1472 geboren, kam frühzeitig an den Hof Friedrich's des Weisen und stieg in der Gunst des Kurfürsten bald so hoch, daß er zum Hofmaler ernannt und in den Ritterstand erhoben ward. Von einer Reise nach den Niederlanden, wo er Lucas von Leyden kennen gelernt und sich mit der Manier der niederländischen Schule vertraut gemacht hatte, zurückkehrend, schloß er zu Wittenberg Freundschaftsbündnisse mit Luther und den meisten in der Geschichte der Reformation bekannt gewordenen Männern. Luthern, von dem er 45 Bildnisse geliefert hat, verlor er schon 1546, und das folgende Jahr beraubte ihn auch in der unglücklichen Mühlberger Schlacht seines Gönners, des Kurfürsten von Sachsen, der die Gunst seiner Vorfahren, Friedrich's des Weisen und Johann's des Beständigen auf ihn übergetragen hatte. Lucas Cranach folgte seinem Herrn nach Weimar und starb dort am 16. October 1553. Als Künstler steht er neben A. Dürer (sd. A.), den er sogar in manchem Bezug, namentlich hinsichtlich des Kolorits, oft übertraf; seine eigentliche Meisterschaft besteht in Bildnissen. Im Ganzen sind 400 Werke von ihm auf die Nachwelt gekommen.
