"Wider das Papsttum zu Rom, vom Teufel"[1] (English: Against the Papacy at Rome, Founded by the Devil) is a 1545 antipapal pamphlet by Martin Luther, accompanied by nine caricatures by Lucas Cranach. The Catholic encyclopedia mentions that they are "the coarsest drawings that the history of caricature of all times has ever produced" (Konrad Lange, "Der Papstesel", Gottingen, 1891,89).
