EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating color print depicts Katharina von Bora (1499-1552), the wife of the German religious reformer, Martin Luther. The image, produced by Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the personal life of one of the most influential figures in European history. Katharina, born as Katherine von Bora in Nuremberg, Germany, was the eldest of thirteen children. She spent her early years in a Cistercian convent, but in 1523, she escaped the convent along with other nuns, inspired by Luther's call for the dissolution of monasteries. Martin Luther, who was 21 years her senior, married Katharina in 1525. Their union was a significant departure from the traditional religious and social norms of the time. The print beautifully captures Katharina's regal and confident demeanor. She is depicted wearing a richly embroidered gown, a symbol of her status as the wife of a prominent figure. Her expression is serene, reflecting the inner strength and resilience she demonstrated throughout her life. Martin Luther, shown in profile, looks at his wife with admiration and love. The background of the print is adorned with intricate details, including a grand fireplace, a beautifully decorated table, and a window that opens up to a lush garden. This setting underscores the comfort and warmth of the Luther household, providing a stark contrast to the austere and rigid life Katharina led in the convent. This color print is a testament to the rich history of the Luther family and the profound impact of the Protestant Reformation on European society. It offers a glimpse into the personal lives of these historical figures, reminding us of their humanity and the complexities of their lives beyond the pages of history books.
