Title: Moda na Cranacha

The art of Lucas Cranach the Elder, his circle and its influence in Silesia, is key to the presentation. The exhibition will feature prints from the collection of the National Museum in Wrocław (Martin Luther's translations of the Bible richly illustrated with Cranach's woodcuts, drafts of the epitaph compositions and prints from Cranach's circle), from the University of Wrocław Library (old prints and manuscripts, including the first edition of Luther's Bible, postils, works by Silesian reverends and a collection drawings portraying the residents of Wrocław), and from the Museum of the Archdiocese (the Breslauer Madonna by Lucas Cranach the Elder, the Reformed Church Allegory from Nowy Kościół near Świerzawa).
