"Johann the Steadfast" is a portrait painted by Lucas Cranach the Elder, a prominent German Renaissance artist known for his portraits and religious subjects. This artwork depicts Johann the Steadfast, Elector of Saxony, who played a significant role in the early Reformation period. Cranach, a close associate of Martin Luther, was instrumental in visually documenting the figures of the Reformation.

The painting is characterized by Cranach's distinctive style, which includes precise lines, attention to detail, and a focus on the sitter's facial expression. Johann is portrayed with a calm and resolute demeanor, reflecting his steadfast nature, which earned him his moniker. The background is typically plain, a common feature in Cranach's portraits, which serves to emphasize the subject.

Cranach's use of color and texture highlights the luxurious clothing and accessories of Johann, indicating his status and wealth. The artist's skillful rendering of textures, such as fur and fabric, showcases his mastery in capturing the material culture of the time.

This portrait is part of a larger body of work by Cranach that includes numerous depictions of key figures of the Reformation, underscoring his role as a chronicler of his era. Cranach's workshop was prolific, producing many portraits and altarpieces that were widely distributed, thus spreading the visual language of the Reformation.

"Johann the Steadfast" is housed in various collections, with versions and copies existing due to Cranach's workshop practices. The painting not only serves as a historical document but also as an example of Cranach's contribution to the art of portraiture during the Northern Renaissance. Through his work, Cranach provided a visual narrative that complemented the theological and political changes of his time.
