This 1817 engraving by Walraad Nieuwhoff, titled "Monument voor het derde eeuwfeest van de Hervorming, 1517-1817," commemorates the 300th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. The image features a classical-style monument with a winged angel sounding a trumpet, a bust of Martin Luther, and a group of cherubs, symbolizing the spread of the Reformation’s message. The work, created in the Neoclassical style, exemplifies the artist’s commitment to historical and religious themes, and the print’s depiction of the Reformation’s significance for Dutch culture.
