Cathedral St. Peter und Paul zu Naumburg
Cranach’s Maria Magdalena rivals the Uta von Naumburg (actually Uta von Ballenstedt) so highly praised by Umberto Ecco.
The two altar panels created by Lucas Cranach the Elder and his workshop around 1518/1519 impress even contemporary visitors with their composition and portrayal of human subjects. The works of art displayed in the Naumburg cathedral treasury vault, one of the largest Romanesque vaults in central Germany, provide wonderful insight into an art that inspired people’s faith.
