Dating from approximately 1510–1515, 'Saint Bartholomew' by Lucas Cranach the Elder represents a pinnacle of Northern Renaissance draftsmanship and theological intensity. Cranach, a court painter to the Electors of Saxony in Wittenberg, captures the apostle with a profound psychological depth and architectural precision characteristic of his early classical period. The composition balances linear clarity with rich, dramatic tonal contrasts, rendering the figure of Bartholomew with both physical presence and spiritual gravitas. This masterwork is reproduced with meticulous fidelity, preserving the delicate brushwork and historical patina of the original. Each format is finished with a refined, gallery-ready presentation, featuring a clean white gallery border that elegantly floats the artwork in standard proportions without cropping.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
