Peter Lutz is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Peter Lutz spent his life hunched over a printmaker’s bench in Leipzig, turning Bible scenes into black-and-white riddles that fit on a postcard. He liked to hide tiny jokes in the margins, like a stray cat wearing a bishop’s mitre, so the faithful had to squint to catch the wink. A whole room in the Museum der bildenden Künste keeps his 19th-century print of the Virgin and St. Francis on a perpetual loop; step up close and you’ll spot the artist’s cat lounging in the corner.
