"Portrait of Martin Luther" is a notable work by the German Renaissance artist Lucas Cranach the Elder, who was a close friend and supporter of Martin Luther, the seminal figure of the Protestant Reformation. This portrait is one of several depictions Cranach created of Luther, reflecting the artist's pivotal role in shaping the visual representation of the reformer. Painted in oil on panel, the portrait is characterized by its meticulous detail and the humanizing portrayal of Luther, which was instrumental in promoting the reformer's image and ideas.

Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472–1553) was a prominent painter and printmaker from Saxony, who served as a court painter to the Electors of Saxony for most of his career. His close association with Luther and the Reformation is reflected in his art, which includes altarpieces, religious subjects, and numerous portraits of Protestant reformers. Cranach's portraits of Luther often depict him as a scholar or theologian, sometimes accompanied by symbols of his religious authority or scholarly achievements.

The "Portrait of Martin Luther" typically shows Luther in a three-quarter view, wearing the garb of a university professor or a preacher, with a black cap and robe, underscoring his academic and religious roles. Cranach's skillful rendering captures the intensity of Luther's gaze and his intellectual presence, contributing to the iconography of the Reformation by emphasizing the personal qualities of its leader.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not always clear, as Cranach produced multiple portraits of Luther throughout his career, with some variations in composition and style. However, many of these portraits are dated to the 1520s and 1530s, during the height of Luther's influence and the spread of Reformation ideas. The portraits were widely disseminated and became some of the most recognizable images of Martin Luther, serving both as personal likenesses and as tools for the propagation of the Protestant movement.

Today, Cranach's portraits of Martin Luther are held in various museum collections around the world and are considered significant both for their artistic merit and for their historical importance in the context of the Reformation and the development of Protestant visual culture. The "Portrait of Martin Luther" by Lucas Cranach the Elder remains a testament to the enduring legacy of both the artist and his subject.
