Lucas Cranach the Elder's "Portraits of Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchthon" is a pair of oil-on-panel paintings created in 1543. The portraits depict the influential figures of the Protestant Reformation: Martin Luther, a German theologian, and Philipp Melanchthon, a humanist scholar and theologian. The work is known for its realistic depiction of the sitters, capturing their individual personalities and intellect. The portraits are now on display at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy.
