''Martin Luther'' is a public artwork by German artist Ernst Friedrich August Rietschel, located at Luther Place Memorial Church in Washington, D.C., United States. Martin Luther was originally surveyed as part of the Smithsonian's Save Outdoor Sculpture! survey in 1993. The monument is a bronze full length portrait dedicated to theologian Martin Luther. ==Description== Martin Luther stands dressed in long robes with his proper right leg moving slightly forward. The sculpture, which shows an excommunicated Luther defending himself during his trial before the Diet of Worms in 1521, features Luther resting his proper right hand on top of a large Bible that he holds in his proper left hand. His hair curls around his face and he looks outwards, looking slightly upwards. The sculpture stands on a three-tiered granite base (H 168 in. x W. 138 in.) and is surrounded by sunflowers and overlooks Thomas Circle. The back of the sculpture, near the base, is engraved: E. RIETSCHEL FACIT. GEGOSSEN LAUCHHAMMER 1884 In raised letters on the front of the base along with the founder's mark: MARTIN LUTHER 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Martin Luther (Rietschel)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
