The Holy Roman Empire, a mosaic of territories derived from the former kingdoms of Charlemagne, was one of the first countries in Christendom to experience religious pluralism, beginning in the early 16th century. Martin Luther, a former Augustinian monk, defied Rome and established a new church.
The arrival of the Lutheran Reformation ushered in a period of conflict between Protestants and Catholics that spread throughout Europe. It was in the midst of these denominational conflicts that Lucas Cranach's prolific work took off.
This book was published on the occasion of the exhibition Cranach in his time at the musée du Luxembourg from 9 February to 23 May 2011.
