"Frederick III the Wise, Elector of Saxony, 1533" is a notable portrait by Lucas Cranach the Elder, a leading figure of the German Renaissance. This artwork is significant for its depiction of Frederick III, also known as Frederick the Wise, who was a key political and cultural figure in early 16th-century Germany. As the Elector of Saxony from 1486 until his death in 1525, Frederick III played a crucial role in the early years of the Protestant Reformation, notably by protecting Martin Luther after Luther was placed under imperial ban. Cranach, who was closely associated with the Reformation and a friend of Luther, created a series of portraits that not only served as a testament to his artistic skill but also as a reflection of the political and religious shifts of the time.

The 1533 portrait, created eight years after Frederick's death, is particularly important for its detailed representation of the Elector, showcasing Cranach's mastery in capturing the dignity and authority of his subjects. The painting is characterized by its intricate detail, vivid colors, and the symbolic elements that reference the sitter's status and achievements. Cranach's work is distinguished by its combination of realism and idealization, a hallmark of his portraiture that contributed to the development of German Renaissance art.

This portrait not only serves as a historical document, reflecting the political and religious climate of the period, but also highlights the close relationship between art and power in the Renaissance. Through his work, Cranach contributed to the shaping of a visual identity for the Reformation and its leaders, embedding the movement's ideals into the cultural fabric of the time. The portrait of Frederick III the Wise remains a key piece in understanding both Cranach's oeuvre and the complex interplay between art, politics, and religion in 16th-century Europe.
