The earliest monumental work that Cranach completed in his office as court painter to the Elector of Saxony was the St Catherine Altarpiece (now in Dresden). The triptych of 1506 is the first in a series of altar retables in which the two brothers Frederick the Wise and John the Steadfast appear either in role portraits or closely associated with the saintly figures in the composition, mostly as half-length donors. He continued the series of retables in 1509 by producing the Triptych with the Holy Kinship.
