The Stadtkirche St Wenzel in Naumburg has two early 16th-century paintings by Lucas Cranach (or possibly his workshop): “Christ Blessing the Children” and the “Adoration of the Magi”. A further “Adoration of the Magi” is possibly by Hans von Kulmbach, 1510, while the “Adoration of the Shepherds” is by Bartholomäus Spranger (around 1600).
