Anonymous Woodcut. Luther at the Diet of Worms. published in Strasburg, 1557

"This woodcut by an anonymous artist is one of the earliest artistic depictions (though not the earliest) of Martin Luther’s famous stand at the Diet of Worms. It was printed in volume 4 of Dr. Ludwig Rabus’s Historien der Heyligen Außerwölten Gottes Zeügen / Bekennern vnd Martyrern (Historical Accounts of the Holy Witnesses, Confessors, and Martyrs Chosen by God; Strasbourg: Samuel Emmel, 1557), fol. 70 verso. Rabus was born in 1524 and had studied under Luther at the University of Wittenberg. This scene captures the events of both April 17 and 18, 1521. Jerome Schurff, the lawyer standing on Luther’s left on the left side of the woodcut, says, “Intitulentur libri [Let the titles of the books be read].” Luther himself says, “Hie stehe ich. Ich kan nicht anders. Got helffe mir. Amen. [Here I stand. I cannot do otherwise. God help me. Amen.]” The princes are represented on the right side of the woodcut, beneath the bullseye glass window; the ecclesiastical leaders are along the back wall. Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, depicted as an older man (he was actually only twenty-one), is seated prominently in the corner against the Holy Roman Empire’s coat of arms."
