"John Frederick the Magnanimous, Elector of Saxony" is a notable portrait by Lucas Cranach the Elder, a renowned German Renaissance painter and printmaker. This artwork, dated to the 16th century, captures John Frederick I (1503–1554), who was the Elector of Saxony and a significant figure in the Protestant Reformation. Known for his support of Martin Luther, John Frederick became a symbol of the Protestant cause, and his portrait by Cranach, who was closely associated with the Reformation and its leaders, is of both historical and artistic significance.

The painting is executed in Cranach's distinctive style, characterized by its vivid color palette, detailed representation, and a blend of realism with idealized features. Cranach's portraits are particularly known for their expressive individuality and psychological insight, which are evident in this depiction of the Elector. The artwork not only reflects the sitter's status and character but also serves as a testament to the close relationship between the artist and the Saxon court, where Cranach held the position of court painter.

As a key work in the oeuvre of Lucas Cranach the Elder, "John Frederick the Magnanimous, Elector of Saxony" has been the subject of art historical research and is often included in discussions of portraiture during the German Renaissance. The painting is typically housed in a museum collection, and it continues to be studied for its artistic merit, its role in the political and religious context of the time, and its contribution to the legacy of one of the most important artists of the Northern Renaissance.
