EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail of Lucas Cranach the Younger's masterpiece, "The Vineyard of the Lord" from 1569. Located in Stadtkirche, Wittenberg, Germany, this oil on panel painting serves as an allegory for the Reformation and Protestantism. The focal point showcases a group of diligent workers on the right-hand side who are diligently tending to their tasks; digging, hoeing, raking, and watering with utmost care and dedication. Their efforts symbolize humanity's commitment to good deeds and working towards a bountiful harvest. Among these reformers from Wittenberg is Martin Luther himself, depicted alongside Philipp Melanchthon drawing fresh water from a well while Johannes Forster waters the soil nearby. Johannes Bugenhagen can be seen diligently hoeing while further up in the scene stand Georg Major, Paul Crell, Caspar Cruciger, Justus Jonas along with Sebastian Froschel throwing rocks over the fence. Atop all this activity stands Georg Spalatin spreading manure. This detailed composition not only portrays scenes of labor but also represents key figures who played significant roles during that era of religious transformation. With its rich symbolism and historical context intertwined within every brushstroke by Cranach's skilled hand, this artwork beautifully encapsulates both agricultural labor and spiritual devotion associated with Christianity.
