EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Luther with pest sick persons in Wittenberg, 1850s" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Gustav Ferdinand Leopold Konig in the mid-19th century, this print depicts an illustration from the book "Dr. Martin Luther the German Reformer". Published by Rudolf Besser in Gotha during the 1850s, it offers a glimpse into the life and work of one of Christianity's most influential figures. In this scene, we witness Martin Luther amidst an epidemic outbreak that plagued Wittenberg during his time. The black and white composition adds a sense of gravity to the situation as Luther tends to those suffering from sickness and disease. As a reformer and religious leader, he not only preached but also actively cared for his community's well-being. The image captures Luther's deep commitment to his faith and compassion for others. With hands clasped together in prayer and holding a chalice symbolizing communion, he provides solace and support to those afflicted by illness. This portrayal showcases how religion played an integral role during times of crisis. Konig's intricate engraving skillfully conveys both the historical context and emotional intensity surrounding this event. It serves as a reminder of Luther's lasting impact on Protestantism while highlighting humanity's resilience when faced with adversity. Overall, this powerful artwork invites contemplation on themes such as faith, health care practices throughout history, social responsibility during epidemics or pandemics
