Luther reveals the deception of the Catholic clergy, Dirck Volckertsz. Coornhert, 1604 Canvas Print
The three-headed People (Vulgus) stands for the Pope, who sits on a throne. Astonished, the American people watch as Martin Luther reveals the deceit of the Catholic clergy by lifting the pope's cloak. In light of his torch Testimony of Scripture (Testimonium Scriptuae), he shows that the leader of the Catholic Church is in fact a devil. The Pope has the legs of a monster. In addition, he houses the snake, the wolf, the jackal and the scorpion, animals that stand for the deceit of the church. In the background, the humanist Erasmus reveals to the People that priests are also wolves disguised. On the right is a farmworker reading the Bible, every hardworking man is entitled to the word of God. The print has a Dutch, Latin and French caption and is part of a twelve-part series on the subject of the depravity of the Catholic clergy and the causes of the uprising and the Iconoclastic Storm.
