Labouchère (Pierre Antoine, 1807–1873). Luther, Melanchthon, Cruciger and Pomeranus translating the Bible at Frankfurt, 1854, oil on canvas, 37.5 x 47 cm (14 3/4 x 18 1/2 ins), in a gilt frame with foliate and beading motif and cartouche engraved with the artist’s name, date, and title ‘Martin Luther translating the Bible’, an early pasted catalogue entry verso typewritten with the artist’s name and title 'Luther, Melancthon, Cruciger and Pomeranus translating the Bible at Frankfort', frame 45.5 x 53.5 cm (Quantity: 1) Provenance: W.A. Foyle; Christopher Foyle, Beeleigh Abbey. A lithograph after the original much larger-scale version of this work was issued in 1846 by Alphonse Léon Noël (1807-1884), and an engraving after the work by J. Rogers was published in Henry Tyrell, W.C. Stafford and John Sherer, The Royal History of England, from the earliest period to the present time, embellished with a series of steel engravings (London: J. G. Murdoch, 1876). Pierre-Antoine Labouchère was born in Nantes on November 26, 1807, a descendant of a Huguenot family who had emigrated to the Netherlands at the time of the religious wars. Between 1843 and 1870 he exhibited scenes from the history of the Reformation almost yearly at the Salon de Paris, where they attracted much attention. He received a third class medal in 1843 for his painting Le Duc d’Aumale dans les bois d’oliviers (Musée de Chantilly), and a second class medal in 1846 for his painting Luther, Mélanchton, Poméranus et Cruciger traduisant la Bible.
