Cranach was court painter to three successive Electors, Frederic the Wise, John the Constant, and Frederic the Magnanimous, whose captivity he shared after the Battle of Mühlberg, at Augsburg, where he met and painted Titian in October, 1552. The latter part of his life was spent at Weimar, where he commenced to paint one of his finest pictures, but died before its completion. The pictures in his first manner were painted before 1520, then followed a period of transition to his second manner, which dates from 1530.
