The Metropolitan Museum of Art's own collection record for "Martin Luther (1483-1546)," a small oil-on-wood portrait attributed to the Workshop of Lucas Cranach the Elder, probably 1532. The record gives the accession number 55.220.2, dimensions of 13 1/8 by 9 1/8 inches (33.3 by 23.2 cm), the credit line Gift of Robert Lehman, 1955, and its own subject tag naming Martin Luther by his standard authority identifier. The portrait belongs to the Cranach workshop's standardized likeness of Luther, produced and repeated in multiple versions during his lifetime to circulate his image.
