This exquisite sculpted portrait of Martin Luther captures the essence of the Reformation, a pivotal period in history marked by intense power struggles between the Roman Catholic Church, state authorities, and reformers. Luther's bold stance against the Church in 1517, symbolized by his 95 Theses, ignited a movement that would change the course of history. Central to this movement was the principle of Sola Scriptura, which asserted the authority of Scripture alone.
The richly detailed artwork not only honors Luther's role in the Reformation, but also celebrates his contributions to the creation of a German Bible, a work that made the Scriptures accessible to the common people. Its craftsmanship reflects the profound impact of Luther and his contemporaries, such as Philip Melanchthon, who played a crucial role in translating the Bible into the vernacular, transforming religious practices across Europe.
Cold-cast in marble stone resin and hand-finished with an antique bronze patina, this Biblical Heritage Exhibit exclusive bas-relief portrait features a detailed likeness of the famous reformer set against a textured background surrounded by an ornate filigree border.
Ideal for Bible collectors, educators, and church leaders, this piece makes a distinguished addition to any religious study, classroom, or church office. It also serves as a powerful focal point for exhibits and displays dedicated to the enduring legacy of the Reformation — a time when the courage of a few reshaped the religious landscape for generations to come.

Because our cold-cast items are hand-finished rather than mass-produced, there will naturally be some color variation and no two will be exactly alike. This is part of the nature and beauty of handmade objects, and should not be considered a flaw or defect. If you are attempting to match your previous BHE purchases or have a particular look in mind (more or fewer highlights, for example), please contact us and we will be happy to provide photos of our current inventory so you can select the exact item that will be shipped to you.
