EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical artifact: a letter from Martin Luther to Thomas Cromwell, dated 9th April 1536. The artist himself, Martin Luther, penned this letter in Latin from Wittenberg on Palm Sunday. In the letter, Luther apologizes for not responding earlier to Cromwell's previous correspondence due to the sudden departure of Dr Barnes who had brought it. He humbly downplays any compliments directed towards him and expresses his delight at Cromwell's fervor for the cause of Christ and his ability to promote it. The image showcases the intricate handwriting and vibrant colors of this manuscript, providing us with an authentic glimpse into communication during the 16th century. This facsimile is part of a series that features royal, historical, literary, and other autographs housed in the Department of Manuscripts at the British Museum. The significance of this exchange lies in its religious context as both Luther and Cromwell played pivotal roles in shaping Protestantism during a time when Christianity was undergoing profound transformations. King Henry VIII also makes an appearance as he appointed Cromwell as his Secretary. This print serves as a testament to their intellectual exchanges and highlights their contributions to religious reform. Preserved through time, this remarkable piece offers viewers a window into history—a tangible connection between two influential figures who left indelible marks on Christianity during one of its most transformative eras.
