Portret van Martin Luther 18th century

This 18th century engraving by C. Zinck depicts Martin Luther, a German theologian, professor of theology, composer, priest, and monk who was a pivotal figure in the Protestant Reformation. Luther is shown in a bust-length portrait within an oval frame, his face is rendered with detail, conveying his serious expression. The engraved lines create a sense of depth and texture, and the inscription below the portrait is in Latin, a common practice in 18th-century portraiture, emphasizing the historical and scholarly context.
