EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the first page of the historic Papal Bull Against Luther and Followers, published in Rome in 1520. The Latin decree, Exsurge Domine, issued by Pope Leo X, takes center stage as it commands the burning of Martin Luther's works. At the top of this profound document is a portrait of Pope Leo X himself, his profile exuding authority and determination. The significance of this image lies in its representation of a pivotal moment during the Reformation era. Martin Luther, a prominent leader within the Lutheran movement, challenged various practices and doctrines upheld by the Catholic Church at that time. In response to Luther's dissenting views, Pope Leo X issued this papal bull as an official condemnation. The visual impact created by juxtaposing the stern portrait with intricate text evokes a sense of power dynamics between religious leaders and reformers during this tumultuous period in history. This photograph serves as both a testament to religious conflict and an emblematic symbol for those seeking change. As we reflect upon this historical artifact captured through Granger Art on Demand, it invites us to delve into centuries-old debates surrounding faith and doctrine while reminding us how influential individuals can shape society through their ideas and actions.
