<p>Ludwig Denig was an eighteenth-century shoemaker and apothecary living in colonial and revolutionary
Pennsylvania. Denig was a Pietist who drew on the devotional and biblical spirituality of the Lutheran and
Dutch
Reformed churches. He created a devotional text—an illuminated manuscript—by mixing an array of Christian
elements with his own creativity. He copied passages from the Gospels in German with devotional reflections on
the Passion. He painted watercolor scenes from the Passion that combined the stories of the Gospels with
scenes
from his own experience, including the brutal violence against the Conestoga Indians in Lancaster,
Pennsylvania,
and his own experiences of warfare in the Revolutionary War. And he added Christian hymns to his watercolors
and
biblical texts. This manuscript combines a number of devotional, theological and artistic traditions, but that
combination created a manuscript and work of art that is unique to early America.</p>

<p>Ludwig Denig (1755-1830) was a shoemaker and apothecary living in colonial and revolutionary Pennsylvania. He drew on Pennsylvania and on the devotional and biblical spirituality of regional Lutheran and Dutch Reformed churches to create a leather-bound manuscript that combines a number of theological and artistic traditions. The volume he created provides a unique document of one man’s religious and cultural life, illustrated with images informed by the world around him. This manuscript combines a number of devotional, theological, and artistic traditions, but that combination created a manuscript and work of art that is unique to early America.</p>

<p>Born in 1755 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, he later moved to Chanbersburg, Pennsylvania and died there in 1830. Denig lived in the midst of frequent violence between colonial settlers and Indigenous peoples, including the murder of sixteen Lenape people within close proximity to his house downtown by the Paxton mob. He was a member of the FIrst Reformed Church and a private in the American Revolution. His manuscript was profoundly shaped by these experiences and connections. The watercolors he created reflect details drawn from firsthand experience, colonial print culture, and the objects that surrounded him in daily life and work.</p>
