Portret van Martin Luther 1777 - 1780

This engraving by Dutch artist Jacob Houbraken, created between 1777 and 1780, depicts Martin Luther. Houbraken, known for his portraits and historical engravings, captures Luther in an oval frame, emphasizing the figure's importance. Luther, the German theologian and reformer, is portrayed in a fur-trimmed gown, reflecting his status as a figure of significance in the Reformation movement. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Houbraken's mastery of engraving and provides a glimpse into the historical and religious context of 18th-century Europe.
