The exhibition will feature old prints from the collection of the National Museum in Wroc?aw (Martin Luther?s translations of the Bible richly illustrated with Cranach?s woodcuts, draughts of the epitaph compositions and prints from Cranach?s circle), from the University of Wroc?aw 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 Wroc?aw) and the Archdiocese Museum (e.g. the Breslauer Madonna by Lucas Cranach the Elder, the Reformated Church Allegory from Nowy Ko?ció? near ?wierzawa). One more important part of the exhibition is the archive documentation of the works that have not been able to survive and used to feature in Wroc?aw museum collections.00Exhibition: National Museum, Wroclaw, Poland (31.10.-30.12.2017).
