title: CARICATURE OF MARTIN LUTHER

subject date: 2016-04-18

caption: MARTIN LUTERO (1483-1546) dressed in battle armor, is about to wear the shoe symbol of the "Boot League", the revolutionary organization of peasants in revolt between 1493 and 1517. The opponents of the German theologian, initiator of the Protestant Reformation, they accused him of being the ideological responsible for the so-called 'Peasants' War', a second wave of revolts that broke out between 1524 and 1526. In reality, Luther then contested the demands of the rioters and supported the right of the German rulers to suppress the riots in the blood, which could suggest a different interpretation of the caricature, in which the reformer takes off the boot he was wearing, to set it on fire. Catholic caricature, watercolor engraving, Germany 1525.
