      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Lucas Cranach was a Renaissance-era German artist who was known for his paintings of nudes and for his stern and precise portraits. Cranach came from a family of artists that lived in the Saxony region. His name was derived from his birthplace, Kronach and he was the son of fellow painter Hans Moller. It is thought that Cranach received his earliest training from his father, Moller, though none of his paintings exist today.</p>

      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">The earliest known existing paintings of Cranach’s hint that he lived in Vienna from 1501 until 1504. His earliest paintings show that he was most likely influenced by fellow German painter Dürer and are comprised of lyrical landscapes and whimsical scenes. These early scenes and portraits created in Vienna have been called some of his finest.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Ill matched Couple</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In 1505, Cranach was appointed the court painter to the Saxon electors of Wittenberg where he remained for almost five decades. During this time, he also traveled about northern Europe painting portraits, including the Emperor Maximilian I. Also during this time, Cranach painted religious and mythological scenes, as well as some of the first ever German nudes. Much of his work also reflects his support of the Lutheran faith. Cranach gained a great deal of notoriety within Wittenberg and in 1537 he was even voted mayor.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Birth of Christ</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Art historians say that Cranach ran and operated a large workshop and worked very fast, outputting hundreds upon hundreds of portraits and paintings. Cranach also created woodcuts and etchings, and during his career painted a number of portraits of politicians and political leaders. He also had two sons that became artist, however only Lucas Cranach the younger rose to the same kind of fame as his father. Some art critics say that the younger artist so perfectly emulated the style of his father that their works are often difficult to distinguish from one another.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Judgment of Paris</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Some art historians also credit Cranach as being the founder of the so-called Danube school of painting. During his travels up and down the famed river and northern Europe, Cranach came in contact with Italian Renaissance and Dutch art, which also helped to shape his personal style. The influence of the Italian Renaissance is most clearly seen in his nude compositions.</p>

      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Cranach’s erotic nudes remain one of the most telling aspects of his talent as an artist. During his lifetime, few other artists were painting nudes, especially in Germany. He also became notorious for his paintings of women wearing large hats.</p>

      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Cranach was often encouraged or commissioned to paint them for the court, and was highly sought after by his contemporaries. He was truly an artist ahead of his time.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/cranach/Cranach_JudithWithTheHEadoFHolofernes.jpg" alt="art" width="auto"></p>
