Cranach House Wittenberg

Here lived and painted Lucas Cranach - both the younger and the elder

In the courtyard there is a printing house, which revives the old printing art with old techniques.

Lucas Cranach the Elder (* probably around October 4, 1472 in Kronach, Upper Franconia; † October 16, 1553 in Weimar) was one of the most important German painters, graphic artists and printers of the Renaissance. From 1505 he was court painter at the Electoral Saxon court under Friedrich the Wise, Johann the Steadfast and Johann Friedrich the Magnanimous. In addition to numerous altarpieces and allegorical paintings, he and his workshop also made a large number of portraits of his employers and of the reformers Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchthon. The Cranach workshop, which is believed to have left around 5,000 paintings, was continued by his son of the same name, Lucas Cranach the Younger.
