Légende

Luther's Chamber, at Wittenberg, 1845. The Lutherhaus, built in 1504 as part of the University of Wittenberg in Germany, was home to Protestant reformer Martin Luther for most of his adult life. 'The ceiling and sides are painted in flower-work. In the seat, by the window, the guide relates that Luther and his wife used to sit. The bassi relievi on the stove are representations of the four Evangelists. The room is in a dilapidated state, and propped up by bearers along the centre. Over the door which leads to the Bedroom and Lecture-room of the Professor, Peter the Great inscribed his name. In the Lecture-room, are preserved Luther's Throne, or Professor's Chair, and various relics - such as embroidery by his wife and the cup he is said to have broken when, on one occasion, the aforesaid lady did not please him.'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
