Engraving of Martin LutherFriedrich Wilhelm Bollinger
This engraving (1816) after a 1543 portrait by Lucas Cranach the Elder presents Martin Luther in formal bust profile. Issued widely before the Reformation tricentennial of 1817, it helped shape a standardized image of the reformer and spread his likeness across Protestant Europe as a symbol of faith and learning.
