Subject: Cranach Digital Archive

The Cranach Digital Archive (cda) is an interdisciplinary collaborative
research resource, providing access to art historical, technical and
conservation information on paintings by Lucas Cranach (c.1472 - 1553)
and his workshop. The repository presently provides information on more
than 400 paintings including c.5000 images and documents from 19
partner institutions.

Started in 2009 the project is in its second phase (2012 - 2014). In
this period the cda aims to expand the existing network, to develop the
shared infrastructure and to increase its content in order to build the
foundations for an innovative, comprehensive and collaboratively
produced repository of knowledge about Lucas Cranach and his workshop
that will be significantly different from the traditional model of the
single-author catalogue raisonné.

The Cranach Digital Archive is a joint initiative of the Stiftung
Museum Kunstpalast, Düsseldorf and Cologne Institute of Conservation
Sciences / Cologne University of Applied Sciences in collaboration with
nine founding partner institutions, 17 associate partners and many
project contributors. The project is funded by the Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation.
