"The Fountain of Youth" (German: "Der Jungbrunnen") is a 1546 oil painting by the German Renaissance artist Lucas Cranach the Elder. This work is renowned for its intricate depiction of a legendary spring that purportedly restores the youth of anyone who drinks or bathes in its waters. Cranach's painting is a detailed narrative that unfolds across a canvas measuring 181 cm × 246 cm, now housed in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin.

The painting presents a vivid tableau divided into several sections, each telling a part of the story of the Fountain of Youth. On the left side, elderly women are shown being led or carried towards the fountain, reflecting the hope and desperation of those seeking to regain their lost youth. The central part of the work is dominated by the fountain itself, a large, ornate structure teeming with figures engaged in the act of bathing. The transformative powers of the water are depicted with a touch of both realism and fantasy, as the women emerge on the right side of the fountain rejuvenated and engaging in various leisurely and courtly activities.

Cranach's work is notable for its allegorical content and is often interpreted as a commentary on the human desire for eternal youth and beauty, as well as the vanity and folly that accompany such wishes. The painting's rich detail and the complexity of its composition reflect the Northern Renaissance's fascination with symbolism, narrative depth, and the meticulous rendering of figures and landscapes.

"The Fountain of Youth" stands as a testament to Cranach's artistic skill and his ability to weave together themes of mythology, morality, and human desire. It remains an important work for the study of Renaissance art and the cultural and philosophical ideas circulating in Europe during the 16th century.
