The Madonna in Reformation Germany
Preserve the tenderness of the image in the midst of religious mutations
Lucas Cranach the Elder often takes up the Virgin and Child before and during the Reformation. His vast workshop broadcasts compositions recognizable by their fine silhouettes, their forest landscapes, their bold colors and their mixture of courteous grace and family closeness. The selection "The Virgin Mary by Lucas Cranach the Elder" notably compares Virgin and Child with Saint Anne and The Virgin and Child with two angels. His reading favors composition.
The flexible line and the landscape transform the sacred group into a familiar image without erasing its symbolic significance.
