"Luther's Wife" is a painting by the notable German Renaissance artist Lucas Cranach the, who was renowned for his portraits of Martin Luther, the theologian who initiated the Protestant Reformation. The artwork is believed to have been created around 1525 and depicts Katharina von Bora, the wife of Martin Luther.

Lucas Cranach the Elder was a close friend of Luther, making portraits that had political and religious significance, acting as powerful visual aids to Luther's teachings. The artist was also successful in creating intimate depictions of domestic life, such as the portrait of Luther's wife.

Katharina von Bora, also known as "Katie", was a former nun who fled her convent and married Luther under controversial circumstances. She was a formidable woman acknowledged for a prosperous agricultural business and a well-managed household, in addition to bearing six children. In "Luther's Wife," Cranach portrays Katharina in her traditional costume, seated with a serene expression, embodying the paradigm of the Protestant matron.

The painting is a testament to Cranach's detailed and delicate portrait style, characterized by his depiction of facial expressions, detailed attention to costume, and the employment of a muted color palette. "Luther's Wife" is not only an iconic representation of a powerful woman but also a significant historical document regarding society's changing perceptions of women's roles during the Reformation.

As of the current date, the painting's location is not definitively known, marking an important area of ongoing research for art historians. "Luther's Wife" remains a fascinating example of Cranach the Elder's masterful portraiture and his revolutionary contribution to theological, social, and artistic movements during the German Renaissance.
