"Frederick III (1463-1525), the Wise, Elector of Saxony" is a notable portrait by Lucas Cranach the Elder, a prominent German Renaissance painter. Created in the early 16th century, this work exemplifies Cranach's skill in capturing the likeness and character of his subjects. Frederick III, known as "the Wise," was an influential figure in the Holy Roman Empire and a key supporter of Martin Luther during the early Reformation.

The painting is part of a series of portraits Cranach produced for the Saxon court, reflecting the artist's close relationship with Frederick and his role as court painter. Cranach's style is characterized by meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of textures and fabrics, which is evident in the intricate depiction of Frederick's attire. The portrait showcases Frederick in a dignified pose, emphasizing his status and authority.

Cranach's use of color and light enhances the realism of the portrait, with a focus on the subtle play of light across Frederick's face and clothing. The background is typically plain, drawing attention to the subject and highlighting his features. This approach was common in Cranach's portraits, allowing the viewer to focus on the sitter's expression and demeanor.

Frederick III's support of Martin Luther and the Reformation is a significant aspect of his legacy, and Cranach's portraits of him contribute to our understanding of this historical period. The painting not only serves as a visual record of Frederick's appearance but also as a testament to his political and cultural influence.

Today, the portrait is housed in various collections, reflecting its historical and artistic significance. It remains a valuable example of Cranach's work and the broader context of Renaissance portraiture in Germany.
