"Portrait of Elector Frederick the Wise" is a notable painting by the German Renaissance artist Lucas Cranach the Elder, created in 1525. This artwork is a significant historical piece as it depicts Frederick III, Elector of Saxony, who was an influential figure in the early Reformation period, known for his protection of Martin Luther. The portrait is executed in oil on panel, a common medium for Cranach, and showcases the elector in a three-quarter profile, which was a typical pose for portraiture of this era, suggesting both formality and engagement with the viewer.

The painting is distinguished by Cranach's meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of Frederick's attire and the textures of his fur-lined cloak and intricate jewelry, which signify his status and wealth. The use of a restrained color palette, dominated by dark tones and highlighted by the rich reds of the elector's hat and the golden elements of his clothing, reflects the somber yet powerful position of Frederick. Cranach's style, characterized by sharp lines and a clear delineation of forms, is evident and contributes to the overall solemnity and authority of the portrait.

"Portrait of Elector Frederick the Wise" not only serves as an artistic representation of a key historical figure but also provides insight into the cultural and political context of the time. The painting is preserved in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden, making it accessible for public viewing and study. This work remains an essential piece for understanding both the artistry of Lucas Cranach the Elder and the historical narrative of the Reformation and its key personalities.
