Martin Bucer (1491-1551) is a notable engraving by the French artist René Boyvin, who was active during the 16th century. The work, created when Boyvin was 53 years old, depicts the influential Protestant reformer Martin Bucer, a contemporary of Martin Luther and John Calvin. Bucer was a seminal figure in the Protestant Reformation, known for his efforts to reconcile differences between various reformist factions and his significant contributions to the theology of the Eucharist and ecclesiology.

The engraving is a testament to the spread of Reformation ideas and the role of art in disseminating the likenesses and ideologies of its leaders. Boyvin, who was a pupil of the renowned engraver Léonard Gaultier, is recognized for his skillful technique and his contributions to the Northern Renaissance art movement. His portrayal of Bucer at the age of 53 is likely to have been based on earlier depictions or descriptions, as Boyvin would have been creating this work some years after Bucer's death.

The artwork serves not only as a historical representation of Martin Bucer but also as an example of the period's portraiture and the use of engravings for the purpose of spreading the images of prominent figures throughout Europe. Boyvin's engraving of Bucer would have contributed to the visual culture of the Reformation, helping to cement the reformer's legacy and influence long after his death.

As a piece of historical and artistic significance, the engraving is an important artifact for both the study of the Reformation and the history of printmaking. It reflects the intersection of art, religion, and politics during a tumultuous period in European history and provides insight into the ways in which artists like Boyvin engaged with these themes through their work.
