EDITORS COMMENTS
The Reformation Festival Play at Berlin captures a momentous scene in German history. This photograph, taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, showcases the dramatic reenactment of Martin Luther's pivotal act of nailing his Ninety-Five Theses to the door of Wittenberg's church. The image transports us back to Christmas night during the festival, where actors dressed as nimptschen nuns and key figures like Luther himself, Frau Luther, and Katherine von Bora bring this historical event to life on stage. The attention to detail is remarkable, from the elaborate costumes to the stunning architectural backdrop that includes a stone church and a grand public monument. This powerful portrayal not only highlights Germany's rich cultural heritage but also emphasizes the impact of Luther's actions on European society. The play serves as a reminder of how one man's courage sparked a religious revolution that forever changed Europe. Through this photograph, we are transported into another time and place - old Berlin - where artistry meets history. It is a testament to both the skill of the photographer and Bridgeman Images' commitment to preserving these important works for future generations.
