 * This is an oil painting of Martin Luther nailing the 95 theses to the doors of the Church. Martin Luther posted these 95 theses on the doors of the church so his voice would be heard. He believed that indulgences were sins and that they were wrong. He believed that you could be saved on faith alone and paying to get into heaven was crazy. So, he posted the 95 theses on the doors of the church and little did he know that that was going to cause a whole riot. || This is an ink drawing of the Catholic princes. The Peace of Augsburg was made so that the different leaders could choose which religion they wanted their followers to practice. This pact helped calm down the religious aspects of the empire for more or less the next 50 years. ||
