EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, showcasing the clash between two influential figures during the Protestant Reformation. On the left side of the image, we witness Johann Tetzel, a controversial figure known for selling indulgences, burning Martin Luther's papers. Tetzel's actions symbolize his attempt to suppress Luther's revolutionary ideas. In the center of this powerful composition stands Martin Luther himself, defiantly hanging up his 95 theses on the church door of Wittenberg. This act would go on to spark a movement that forever changed Christianity and religious practices as we know them. On the right side of the print, we see students from Wittenberg University joining forces with Luther by burning Tetzel's papers. Their support signifies how Luther's message resonated with many who were disillusioned by corrupt practices within their faith. Created in engraving by Gustav Ferdinand Leopold Konig in the 1850s, this artwork beautifully captures both tension and determination. It is part of an illustrated publication titled "Dr. Martin Luther The German Reformer" which sheds light on one of history's most significant religious reformers. Through this historic image, viewers are transported back to a time when one man dared to challenge established norms and ignite change within Christianity itself.
