Description |
English: a fragment, possibly wing of a triptych; Luther (left) with the Reformers and their protector, the Elector of Saxony, John Frederick the Magnanimous (1532-1547), right Philipp Melanchthon (1497-1560), the man behind Luther most often is identified as Georg Spalatin (1484-1545), the man behind John Frederick's left shoulder is probably Saxon Chancellor Gregor Brück (1485-1557). The painting is a fragment of a larger composition. The reformers are witness to some event to their left and above, at which they gaze or point. The numbers painted on some of the figures seem to be original to the painting. They once corresponded to a list of names on the back of the panel, identifying key reformers for posterity, such as number 4, theologian and scholar Philipp Melanchthon. |
