EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "LUTHER ANNIVERSARY, 1617" takes us back in time to the significant event that shaped history. The German broadside, created in 1617, serves as a commemoration of the 100th anniversary of Martin Luther's bold act. In 1517, Luther fearlessly nailed his revolutionary document known as the "95 Theses" to the church door at Wittenberg. This act sparked a fire that ignited the Protestant Reformation. The image itself is an intriguing blend of symbolism and historical references. A powerful allegory unfolds before our eyes: a lion representing strength and courage stands beside a swan symbolizing purity and grace. These majestic creatures are juxtaposed against a backdrop featuring Rome engulfed in flames while a phoenix rises from its ashes, signifying rebirth and transformation. The woodcut from 1518 is also depicted within this composition, reminding us of the first anniversary celebration following Luther's defiant action. The intricate details captured by this photograph print allow us to appreciate both the craftsmanship of the original artwork and its historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness one man's courageous stand against corruption within the Catholic Church—a pivotal moment that forever altered religious beliefs and practices throughout Europe.
