Description

Lucas Cranach the Elder was a close friend of Martin Luther and did the illustrations for Luther's German Bible. As a symbol of resistance to Catholic authority, Judith was a popular subject among Reformation painters. This work illustrates Jdt 12:17, Judith dining with the enemy leader Holofernes. Cranach set the scene in a German landscape, with the city of Wittenberg in the background.
