Abstract (en)

Discusses hitherto unknown paintings by Gustaf Graan, ca.1701, including portraits of Martin Luther, Jan Hus, Savonarola and Philip Melanchton. Other works by Graan in the church depict the Crucified Christ, the Virgin Mary and the Apostles. Focuses on the portraits and shows that the untrained artist used Henrik Hondius's book with engravings of Famous Men, 1599, as his source. Notes that the portraits belong to a series on Witnesses of Truth in Catalogus testium veritatis, published by Matthias Flacius Illyricus, 1562 [1556]. Believes that Graan's selection of persons may have been inspired by Gottfried Arnold's history of dissenters, 1699-1700.
