EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite altarpiece, rich in historical and religious significance. The triptych takes center stage, with each panel telling a unique story of faith and devotion. On the left panel, we witness the profound moment of baptism as Philipp Melanchthon performs the sacrament, assisted by Martin Luther. This powerful image symbolizes their shared commitment to spreading the teachings of Christianity. Moving to the center panel, we are transported to the Last Supper where Luther sits amongst the Apostles. This depiction not only pays homage to this sacred event but also highlights Luther's integral role in shaping religious reform during his time. To further emphasize Luther's influence, on the right panel he is shown making his confession - a testament to his unwavering dedication and personal journey within his faith. Below these remarkable scenes lies a sermon delivered by Luther himself, adding depth and context to this extraordinary piece of art created by Lucas Cranach, known for his masterful use of oil on panel technique. Located in Wittenberg's Church of St. Marien in Germany, this altarpiece serves as a visual reminder of Martin Luther's pivotal role as a theologian and reformer during one of history's most transformative periods - The Reformation. Its timeless beauty continues to inspire awe and reverence among all who encounter it today.
