Hans Cranach

Hans Cranach (ca.

1513–1537), also known as Johann Lucas Cranach, was a German painter, the oldest son of Lucas Cranach the Elder.

German art historian Johann Christian Schuchardt, who discovered his existence, credits him with an altar-piece at Weimar, signed with the monogram "H. C.", and dated 1537.

Luther mentions his death in his Table Talk, and Johann Stigel, a contemporary poet, celebrates him as a painter.
