Dressed to impress: this opulent portrait by Lucas Cranach the Elder depicts John Frederick I, the final Elector of Saxony, in the most stylish clothes of the decade.
.
‘In the 16th century, men’s fashion was as important – if not more so – than women’s fashion,’ explains Jonquil O’Reilly, our Old Masters specialist in New York (@jonquiloreilly). ‘It was a way of showing what rank and position in society you were.’⠀
.
‘The fashion of the 1530s was to have very broad shoulders and a barrel chest. In showing this physical, imposing presence, John Frederick is making a point about how powerful he is.’
