Lucas Cranach the Younger (Lucas Cranach der Jüngere {{IPAc-de|j|ü|'|ng|E|r|-e}}; 4 October 1515 – 25 January 1586) was a German Renaissance painter and portraitist, the son of Lucas Cranach the Elder.

Life and Career

Lucas Cranach the Younger was born in Wittenberg, Germany on October 4, 1515 as the second son of Lucas Cranach the Elder and Barbara Brengebier. He began his career as an apprentice in his father's workshop, training alongside his older brother Hans. Following Hans's sudden death in 1537, Cranach the Younger assumed greater responsibilities in the workshop.[1]

The Protestant Reformation began in Wittenberg in 1515. Cranach the Elder was friends with Martin Luther and became known as a leading producer of Protestant artistic propaganda.[2] In 1550, Cranach the Elder left Wittenberg to join his patron John Frederick I, Elector of Saxony in exile.[1] Following his father's departure, Cranach the Younger assumed full responsibility over the flourishing family workshop. In this position, he successfully maintained the workshop's high output of quality work, including images of Reformers.[3] Although Cranach the Younger was never a court painter, he worked for members of the social elite including princes and nobles. Upon his death in 1586, theologian Georg Mylius stated that Cranach the Younger's work could be seen in, "churches and schools, in castles and houses."[3]

The Cranach family enjoyed a high status in Wittenberg. In addition to the painting workshop, Cranach the Younger was a successful businessman and politician. He occupied several political offices in Nuremberg beginning in 1549, when he served on the city council. He also served as Chamberlain, beginning in 1555 and Burgomaster from 1565.[1] [3]

On February 20, 1541 he married Barbara Brück, with whom he had three sons and a daughter. She died of plague on February 10, 1550. Thereafter Cranach remarried, wedding Magdalena Schurff on May 24, 1551. This union produced five children, including painter Augustin Cranach.[4]

Cranach the Younger died in Wittenberg on January 25, 1586 at the age of 70.[3]
