Johann the Constant, Elector of Saxony - Lucas Cranach the Elder
Johann the Constant, portrait of authority rendered by Lucas Cranach the Elder
This portrait captures the solemn presence of Johann the Constant, Elector of Saxony, in a rich palette where deep ochres and black velvet tones harmonize with golden highlights. The composition, centered on the bust and the prince's penetrating gaze, reveals Cranach's sense of detail: fabric texture, fineness of jewelry, and modeling of the face rendered by a controlled glaze. The atmosphere is both intimate and ceremonial, evoking power and dignity, while the light subtly sculpts the volumes and gives the subject a memorable presence.
