"Portraits of Martin Luther and Catherine Bore" are a pair of notable paintings by the German Renaissance artist Lucas Cranach the Elder. These works are significant for their historical and artistic value, as they depict Martin Luther, the seminal figure of the Protestant Reformation, and his wife, Catherine von Bora, a former nun who became an influential figure in her own right. Painted circa 1529, these portraits are exemplary of Cranach's portraiture style, which combined a keen eye for detail with a profound understanding of his subjects' personalities and statuses.

Lucas Cranach the Elder, a close friend of Martin Luther, was uniquely positioned to capture the reformer's likeness. His access to Luther allowed him to create portraits that were not only visually accurate but also imbued with a sense of the subject's inner life and convictions. The portrait of Catherine Bore, likewise, reflects Cranach's ability to portray his sitters with dignity and grace, highlighting her role in the Reformation's domestic sphere and her partnership with Luther.

The paintings are characterized by their fine detail, the rich textures of the subjects' clothing, and the use of symbolic elements that reflect the sitters' religious and social standings. Cranach's use of color and his skillful rendering of facial expressions contribute to the enduring appeal of these works. The portraits are also valuable for their historical context, offering insight into the appearance and personality of two of the most influential figures of the 16th century.

Today, the "Portraits of Martin Luther and Catherine Bore" are held in high esteem by art historians and are considered important examples of Northern Renaissance portraiture. They are often studied for their artistic merits, as well as their contribution to the visual culture of the Reformation. These works continue to attract scholarly attention and remain a testament to Cranach's mastery as a portraitist and his significant role in documenting the Reformation era.
