Reformators 1535

"Reformators," a 1535 oil painting by Lucas Cranach the Elder, depicts a group of men, likely reformers from the city of Wittenberg, Germany. The painting is characterized by its strong, linear compositions, detailed textures and use of symbolic imagery. The figure of a cupid, depicted in the foreground, suggests the theme of divine love, while the inscription on the scroll held by the cupid refers to the theological ideas that were being debated at the time.
