"A Portrait of Martin Luther (1483-1546)" is a notable work by the German Renaissance artist Lucas Cranach the Elder, who was a close friend and supporter of Martin Luther, the seminal figure of the Protestant Reformation. Cranach's portraits of Luther are significant for their role in shaping the public image of the reformer. This particular portrait is one of several created by Cranach, who had a unique ability to capture the intellectual and spiritual intensity of Luther.

The painting is a half-length portrait that depicts Luther in his middle age, dressed in the traditional black gown of a university professor, which was typical attire for scholars of that era. The portrait is characterized by its detailed representation of Luther's features, including his piercing gaze, which reflects his determination and conviction. Cranach's skillful use of oil on panel allows for a rich texture and depth, bringing a lifelike quality to the portrait that was influential in disseminating Luther's image across Europe.

Cranach's relationship with Luther went beyond that of artist and subject; Cranach was a significant figure in the Reformation movement, using his art to promote its ideas. His portraits of Luther not only served to convey the reformer's likeness but also to communicate the ideals and character of the man who challenged the Catholic Church's authority. The portraits were widely reproduced and distributed, making Luther's face one of the most recognizable of the period.

The exact date of this particular portrait's creation is not definitively known, but it is generally believed to have been painted during the height of Luther's influence in the 1520s or 1530s. Today, the portrait is considered an important historical artifact, providing insight into both the Reformation and the art of portraiture in the Northern Renaissance. It is held in high esteem for its artistic merit as well as its cultural and historical significance.
