"Apostel Paulus" (Apostle Paul) is a notable work by Lucas Cranach the Elder, a renowned German Renaissance painter and printmaker. Created in the 16th century, this painting is part of Cranach's extensive religious oeuvre, which frequently depicted biblical figures and scenes. The artwork presents the apostle Paul, one of the most influential early Christian missionaries and authors of several books in the New Testament.

In "Apostel Paulus," Cranach captures the apostle with his traditional iconographic attributes: an open book, symbolizing his epistles and contributions to the New Testament, and a sword, representing both his martyrdom and the 'Sword of the Spirit,' a metaphor for the word of God as described in the Epistle to the Ephesians. The painting is characterized by Cranach's attention to detail, vibrant color palette, and the distinct elongated forms typical of his style.

Lucas Cranach the Elder's works are celebrated for their combination of Gothic tradition and Renaissance innovation, and "Apostel Paulus" exemplifies his skill in portraiture and his ability to convey religious themes with both reverence and a humanistic touch. The painting is not only a testament to Cranach's artistic prowess but also provides insight into the religious and cultural milieu of the Reformation period in which he lived and worked.

As with many of Cranach's paintings, "Apostel Paulus" is significant for its historical context, as Cranach was a close friend of Martin Luther and an active supporter of the Protestant Reformation. His portraits of religious figures, including this depiction of Apostle Paul, played a role in shaping the visual identity of the Reformation and Protestant iconography.

The painting is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered an important piece within Cranach's body of work, reflecting the religious, cultural, and artistic shifts of the early 16th century. It remains an object of study for those interested in the intersection of art, theology, and history during the Renaissance and Reformation.
