拍品專文

With the subject of Martin Luther, this painting reveals the influence of the artist, Baron Leys from Antwerp, where Tissot had recently returned. Martin Luther had figured prominently in Leys works, and Tissot would have seen this during his visit. The setting for our picture is very similar to the other Tissots from this time depicting Faust and Marguerite, however, the inclusion of Martin Luther, shown so prominently in the composition makes this painting more a statement of the passing Reformation reconstruction of the time.
