During the Reformation, Protestant reformers such as Huldrych Zwingli and John Calvin promoted Iconoclasm among their followers. I have found information about Luther opposing it, but little about why.
Why exactly did Luther oppose iconoclasm when other leaders supported it?

*The same illustration in a deluxe Luther Bible owned by Count Joachim , in which he erased the depiction of God because of his support of iconoclasm*
