Takes on full responsibility for the workshop
In 1550 Lucas Cranach the Elder leaves Wittenberg to join his patron, John Frederick I, Elector of Saxony, in exile. The Younger takes on full responsibility for the flourishing family workshop and successfully maintains its high output and quality of work, including images of Reformers such as Luther himself; he was never a court painter, but worked for princes and nobles.

The artist's first wife, Barbara Brück, the mother of four of his children, dies. A year later he marries Magdalena Schurff.
