"Law and Gospel" (sometimes referred to as "Law and Grace") is a seminal work by Lucas Cranach the Elder, a prominent German Renaissance painter and printmaker. Created around 1529, this piece is a quintessential example of Reformation art, reflecting the theological debates of the time, particularly those influenced by Martin Luther. Cranach, a close friend and supporter of Luther, used his artistic talents to visually communicate the core tenets of Protestant theology.

The painting is divided into two distinct halves, each representing different aspects of Christian doctrine. On the left side, the "Law" is depicted, illustrating the Old Testament and the Mosaic Law. This side typically features scenes such as Adam and Eve's fall from grace, Moses receiving the Ten Commandments, and the Last Judgment. These images convey the idea that the Law alone cannot lead to salvation but rather highlights human sinfulness and the need for divine grace.

In contrast, the right side of the painting represents the "Gospel" or "Grace," showcasing the New Testament's message of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. This section often includes scenes of the Annunciation, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection, emphasizing the belief that faith in Christ and his sacrificial death and resurrection are the paths to redemption and eternal life.

Cranach's "Law and Gospel" is not just a religious artwork but also a didactic tool, designed to educate and persuade viewers about the differences between Catholic and Protestant beliefs. The painting's clear dichotomy and vivid imagery make it an effective means of communicating the Reformation's theological principles. It remains an important cultural and historical artifact, reflecting the religious turmoil and transformation of 16th-century Europe.
