Lucas Cranach (the elder) was famous in his time as a painter in the beginning in the Catholic and later in the Lutheran tradition. But a great part of the Catholic liturgy was preserved in the reformation of Luther. Lucas Cranach was a close friend of Marten Luther, made several portraits of the reformer and assisted him in the propaganda for the reformation by making prints, woodcuts etcetera.
