"Katharina von Bora" is a portrait by the German Renaissance artist Lucas Cranach the Elder, painted in 1526. The subject of the painting, Katharina von Bora (1499–1552), was a former nun who became the wife of Martin Luther, the seminal figure of the Protestant Reformation. This portrait is one of the most recognized depictions of von Bora, showcasing Cranach's skill in portraiture and his close relationship with the reformer and his family.

In the painting, Katharina is portrayed with a serene expression, wearing a traditional German attire that reflects her social status as the wife of a university professor. The attire includes a headdress and a fur-trimmed garment, indicative of her piety and modesty. Cranach's use of color and detail in the clothing highlights the textures and lends a sense of realism to the portrait.

Lucas Cranach the Elder, a friend and supporter of Martin Luther, played a significant role in the Reformation through his art, which conveyed the new Protestant ethos. His portraits of Luther and his contemporaries were instrumental in spreading their images and messages across Europe. The portrait of Katharina von Bora is held in high esteem not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical significance, as it provides a visual connection to one of the most influential women of the Reformation period.

The painting is part of a larger collection of works by Cranach that depict figures of the Reformation. It is often studied in the context of its historical and cultural background, offering insights into the role of women in the Reformation and the intersection of art and religion during a pivotal moment in European history. The portrait is housed in a number of museums and collections, with versions of it appearing in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, the Lutherhaus in Wittenberg, and other institutions that celebrate the legacy of the Reformation.
