EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Martin Luther, a prominent figure in German history. Painted by Paul Thumann in 1934, it showcases Luther's strong and determined persona. Born in 1483, Luther was not only a theologian but also an Augustinian monk and ecclesiastical reformer. His influence on the Reformation cannot be overstated. Despite being excommunicated by Pope Leo IX in 1521 and declared an outlaw at the Diet of Worms, Luther found protection under the Elector of Saxony. It was during this time that he embarked on translating the Bible into German, making it accessible to a wider audience. Luther's efforts went beyond translation; he founded the Lutheran Protestant Church as well. His portrait reflects his deep commitment to religious reform and his unwavering dedication to his beliefs. The painting beautifully captures Luther's expressive face with its intense gaze and resolute expression. The colors used bring vibrancy to his image while highlighting his role as a pivotal figure in Christian history. As we delve into this piece from Die Groszen der Weltgelchichte (Ecktein-Halpaus, Dresden), we are transported back to the sixteenth century when Luther challenged traditional religious practices, leaving an indelible mark on Christianity for centuries to come. This print serves as a powerful reminder of Martin Luther's significant contributions and enduring legacy within Germany and beyond.
