"Portrait of Martin Luther, Half-Length, Wearing a Black Coat" and "Portrait of Philip Melanchthon, Half-Length, in a Black Coat" are two significant works by the German Renaissance artist Lucas Cranach the Elder. These portraits are notable for their depiction of two of the most prominent figures of the Protestant Reformation: Martin Luther and Philip Melanchthon. Painted in the 16th century, these works are exemplary of Cranach's portraiture style, which combined a keen eye for detail with a nuanced approach to capturing the personalities and stature of his subjects.

Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472–1553) was a painter and printmaker who was court painter to the Electors of Saxony for most of his career, and he is known for his portraits of German nobility and leading figures of the Reformation. His close association with Martin Luther allowed him unique access to the reformer, resulting in numerous portraits that were instrumental in shaping Luther's public image. Similarly, Cranach's depiction of Philip Melanchthon, a German reformer, collaborator of Luther, and intellectual leader of the Lutheran Reformation, reflects the respect and admiration Cranach had for Melanchthon's contributions to theology and education.

The portraits of Luther and Melanchthon are characterized by their austere composition and the sober attire of the subjects, which reflect the religious and cultural climate of the time. Cranach's skillful use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the textures of fabrics and the sitters' facial features, contribute to the lifelike quality of these paintings. The works are also significant for their historical context, as they capture the likenesses of two men who played pivotal roles in the religious upheavals that transformed Europe in the 16th century.

These portraits not only serve as historical documents but also as masterful examples of portraiture from the Northern Renaissance. They are held in high esteem by art historians and are considered important works in the oeuvre of Lucas Cranach the Elder. The paintings are frequently studied for their artistic merit, as well as their impact on the visual culture of the Reformation.
