Image description

In the left centre foreground is a portrait of the Elector Johann Friedrich of Saxony the Magnanimous (1503-54) and on the far left the Emperor Charles V (1500-58) wearing the insignia of the Order of the Golden Fleece; on the right is a portrait of the Elector's wife, Sybille of Cleves (1512-54) taking aim with her crossbow; Cranach and his workshop made several paintings with similar hunting scenes and probably they were commissioned by Johann Friedrich to give to other German princes in the 1540s; there is also an allegorical meaning since hunting was a symbol of good government and is therefore an allusion to harmony and collaboration between rulers; Johann Friedrich was a strong supporter of Luther and the Protestant Reformation and would later be imprisoned by Charles V in 1547 after the defeat at the battle of Mühlberg of the Lutheran Schmalkaldic League of Protestant princes by the Catholic princes of the Holy Roman Empire; however in 1544 there appeared to be a good relationship between the Emperor and the Elector;
