EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable portrait of Philipp Melanchthon, an influential figure in the Reformation movement. The German church reformer is depicted with great detail and precision, his piercing gaze capturing both wisdom and determination. In this artwork attributed to Lucas Cranach (I) or his workshop, Melanchthon stands tall, holding a rolled-up paper in his left hand. This symbolic gesture suggests his role as an intellectual leader and scholar during a time of religious upheaval. The delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors used by the artist bring out the depth and character of Melanchthon's face. Philipp Melanchthon was born in 1497 and played a pivotal role alongside Martin Luther in shaping Protestant theology. His contributions to education were equally significant, as he reformed universities across Germany by promoting humanist ideals. This portrait serves as a testament to his enduring legacy. Measuring 36 cm in height and 23 cm in width, this panel painting is executed with oil paint on wood. Its small size adds intimacy to the portrayal of such an important historical figure. The Liszt Collection presents this print not for commercial use but rather as an opportunity to appreciate the artistry behind this stunning depiction of Philipp Melanchthon – a man whose ideas continue to resonate centuries later.
