Martin Luther and Ulrich Zwingli had differing views on whether the wine and bread in the Sacrament are symbolic or real. Attempting to keep the nascent protestant church united, Philipp I of Hesse tried to reconcile them. The third visual is John Calvin but I couldn't find a solid connection between him and Philipp. Still I will go with Philipp as my guess. Answer courtesy wiki.
