"Johann the Steadfast, Elector of Saxony (1486-1532)" is a portrait painted by Lucas Cranach the Elder, a prominent German Renaissance artist known for his close association with the Protestant Reformation and his role as a court painter to the Electors of Saxony. The painting depicts Johann the Steadfast, who was the Elector of Saxony from 1525 until his death in 1532. Johann played a significant role in the early years of the Reformation, supporting Martin Luther and the spread of Protestantism within his territories.

Cranach's portrait captures Johann with a dignified and resolute expression, reflecting his steadfast commitment to his faith and political responsibilities. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the rendering of Johann's attire, which is typical of the noble fashion of the early 16th century, featuring rich fabrics and intricate patterns. The background is often simple, focusing the viewer's attention on the subject's face and expression.

Lucas Cranach the Elder was known for his ability to convey the personality and status of his sitters, and this portrait is no exception. The painting not only serves as a historical record of Johann's appearance but also as a testament to his influence during a pivotal time in European history. Cranach's work is characterized by its clarity, precision, and the subtle use of color, all of which are evident in this portrait.

This painting is part of a larger body of work by Cranach that includes numerous portraits of key figures of the Reformation, as well as religious and mythological scenes.
