Wittenberg city church and its paintings.

I visited Wittenberg in may and got surprised, so many fantastic paintings with 16th century clothing! In 1547, the painter Lucas Cranach the elder created the altarpiece for the protestant city church in Wittenberg. Its not only the Church where Luther preached, its also contains important paintings by Cranach. Enjoy!

Central panel - The last supper.

Left panel - Phillip Melanchthon administrated the baptism.

Back of the altar. Love the dresses!

Like this one below, showing women in "kirchgangskleidung" church-clothing, with bundlein, the headwear, and fehenmantel, the coat.

The lady sitting in the front, with the child in red is belived to be Chatarina von Bora and her child with Martin Luther.

The one on the left "Raising of the son of the widow of Nain" by Lucas Cranach the younger in 1569, with widows in bundlein couvering their mouth, a sighn of their grief.
