Dr. Martin Luther "Hier siehe ich, ich kann nicht anders, Gott helfe mir! Amen" [...]
Lucas Cranach Pinxt Fr. Muller Sculp.t
Inst. Bibl. Excud.t
Line engraving, platemark approx. 520 x 400mm (20½ x 15¾"), with very large margins. Uncut.
Martin Luther (1483-1546), theologian whose writings inspired the Protestant Reformation. In 1517 he famously published his '95 theses' attacking papal abuses and the sale of indulgences. Excommunicated by the Catholic church and declared a heretic, Luther's ideas were the foundation of a new conception of Christianity. He also translated the Bible into German to make it accessible to a larger number of people, contributing to the growth of the German language in the process. Engraving supposedly after Cranach, although far more in the idiom of the nineteenth century than Cranach's portraits of Luther.
