The Divide, after lucas cranach's "The lord's vineyard" altarpiece

In 2016, as an artist-in-residence at AtelierHaus Hilmsen, I was asked to reinterpret the oldest work of political art in Europe, Lucas Cranach's "The Lord's Vineyard". The original controversial altarpiece exists at the Friedrich Danneill Museum in Salzwedel, Germany. It was commissioned by Martin Luther to depict the separation of Catholics and Lutherans. The Pope, at the time of it's creation, commanded it be destroyed, resulting in a church being burnt to the ground. The artwork still exists 500 years later.
