"Philipp Melanchthon" is a notable portrait by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in 1526. The artwork is a woodcut that depicts Philipp Melanchthon, who was a German reformer, collaborator with Martin Luther, humanist, theologian, and teacher. Melanchthon was a key figure in the Protestant Reformation and is often regarded as the "Praeceptor Germaniae" (Teacher of Germany) for his role in the development of the German school system and his influence on Protestant educational reforms.

The portrait is a testament to Dürer's mastery of the woodcut medium and his ability to capture the essence of his subject's character. It is one of several portraits Dürer made of Melanchthon, whom he admired greatly. In this work, Dürer presents Melanchthon in a three-quarter profile, which was a common pose in portraiture of the time, suggesting both a sense of formality and intimacy.

Dürer's portrayal of Melanchthon is notable for its fine detail and the use of line to convey texture and depth, which is characteristic of the artist's style. The subject's intellectual demeanor is captured through his focused gaze and the presence of books in the background, reflecting Melanchthon's scholarly pursuits.

The "Philipp Melanchthon" woodcut is not only significant as a work of art but also as a historical document, providing insight into the relationship between two of the most influential figures of the Reformation and the role of art in documenting and promoting the ideals of the period. The portrait remains an important piece in the study of both the history of art and the history of the Reformation, illustrating the intersection of these two realms through Dürer's craftsmanship and Melanchthon's intellectual legacy.
