EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white wood engraving from the 19th century depicts a pivotal moment in history - Martin Luther fastening his 95 theses on the door of All Saints Church in Wittenberg on October 31,1517. The image showcases Luther, a German theologian and key figure of the Protestant Reformation, nailing his revolutionary document to the church's wooden entrance. In this powerful scene, we witness Luther challenging the authority of the Catholic Church by publicly denouncing its practices and calling for reform. His bold act sparked a wave of religious upheaval that would forever change Christianity. The intricate details captured in this print transport us back to that fateful day when Luther fearlessly confronted centuries-old traditions. The worn texture of the church door hints at its historical significance while emphasizing Luther's audacity to challenge established norms. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are reminded of Luther's unwavering determination and intellectual prowess. This wood engraving serves as a visual testament to his courage and conviction, symbolizing an important turning point in religious history. Preserved by The Granger Collection in New York, this artwork invites us to reflect on how one man's actions can ignite profound social transformation. It stands as a timeless reminder that even against seemingly insurmountable odds, individuals have the power to reshape society through their beliefs and actions.
