Luther\u2019s appeal to Saint Anne is an expression of his piety in the year 1505. In the course of his subsequent theological studies, he reached a new understanding of God. Luther criticised the veneration of saints. I believe Cranach didn\u2019t paint this scene because Luther spoke out not only against the Cult of Anne, but also against the exaltation of himself personally. In the style of Cranach, Wolfgang Beltracchi paints precisely this scene that was omitted from the works produced in that Wittenberg studio.\u00ab<\/p>\n Dr. Marlies Schmidt, Cranach Foundation, Wittenberg<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=“4.7.3″ _module_preset=“default“ text_text_color=“#f4f4f4″ header_2_font=“||||||||“ header_2_text_color=“#ce1b18″ custom_margin=“100px||41px||false|false“ text_font_size_tablet=“14px“ text_font_size_phone=““ text_font_size_last_edited=“on|tablet“ header_2_text_shadow_style=“none“]<\/p>\n As a law student, Martin Luther encountered a severe storm. In fear for his life, he vowed to Saint Anne to become a monk. Luther formed a personal friendship and close collaboration with Lucas Cranach. Cranach produced multiple portraits of the reformer, Luther, and published his pamphlets. The key event that directed the course of Luther\u2019s life \u2013 and therefore also of history \u2013 was never actually recorded in art. Beltracchi composes a complex painting reflecting mercy and danger, good and evil with complete ambivalence, just like the saint being called upon. The meticulous depiction of nature, which was a key achievement of the German Renaissance, reveals the influence of the Danube School in Cranach\u2019s early work.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=“https:\/\/www.mse-kunsthalle.de\/z_kairos_epoche_06\/“ button_text=“Mehr zur Entstehung und zur Epoche“ _builder_version=“4.7.3″ _module_preset=“default“ custom_margin=“98px|||||“][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wolfgang Beltracchi, 2017Luthers Begegnung mit der heiligen AnnaHandschrift: Lucas Cranach der \u00c4ltere, 1520, Wittenberg\u00d6l auf Holz, 53 x 38 cm\u00bbDas Gem\u00e4lde \u201eLuthers Begegnung mit der heiligen Anna\u201c greift eine Schl\u00fcsselszene aus dem Leben Martin Luthers auf.
