Satirical depiction of Martin Luther's opponent. Woodcut of a leaflet at the time of the Roman Trial, mocking it with animal masks: on the far left the Franciscan Thomas Murner as a tomcat, next to him the theologian Hieronymus Emser as a goat. Pope Leo X. as the antichrist is designated as the lion in the center of the picture , on the right the Ingolstadt theology professor Johannes Eck as a pig and the Tübingen theology professor Jakob Lemp as a dog. The caption shows that Leo X. Eck promised a cardinal's hat and money, in return Eck should force Luther down.
