V.This plaque was originally the sixth of a set of eight representing the Lord's Prayer, of which six are in the Fitzwilliam (M.49A-F-1904). The first plaque shows 'Christ instructing his disciples how to pray', and the others, have scenes associated with the lines of the Lord's Prayer. The words are written below in French. This plaque, the sixth in the sequence, represents the line ‘Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us’ (Matthew VI, 12). The subject, 'Christ delivering prisoners from captivity' is a reference to the words 'to bring out the prisoners from the prison and them sit in darkness out of the prison house' in Isaiah, 42.6-7. Three more plaques decorated with this subject have been recorded, see Documentation.
The scenes illustrating the lines of the prayer in were inspired by a set of metalcuts by the Basel monogrammist C.V. after Holbein which appeared in Desiderio Erasmus's 'Precatio dominica in septem portiones', published by both Johann Froben and Johannes Bebel successively in Basle in 1524. The work was first published without illustrations in 1523, and was rapidly translated into modern languages. The illustrations in the Froben and Bebel editions have the inscriptions in Latin, but a set of eight prints issued separately probably a little later with inscriptions in French, signed CV, is in the British Museum (1904.0206, 64,1-8;) and seven of the set (no. 4 is missing) are in the Cabinet des Estampes, Bibliothèque nationale, Paris (EA 25c in fol., p. 57). Possibly they were intended to be used in a French illustrated edition which was never published. While the iconography of all the plaques was derived from these prints, the details of the figures and settings differ, in some scenes more than others.
Two plaques enamelled in the same style in the Louvre were attributed to Colin Nouailher by Alfred Darcel (1867)and his attribution was upheld by J.J. Marquet de Vasselot (1919-20) and Sophie Baratte (2000). This attribution was confirmed by the presence of the initials CN below the title on a plaque from the Lord’s Prayer decorated with the 'Deliver us from Evil' scene, acquired by the Musée de l’Évêché (now Musée des Beaux-Arts), Limoges, in 2007 (2007.5.2) with another plaque of the 'Give us our daily bread' scene (2007.5.1).
Lord's Prayer plaques were also executed probably by Jean II or III Pénicaud, and an enameller who signed 'KIP' or' KI'. These are in very different styles from the Nouailher plaques and include some scenes which were not based on the Holbein/CV illustrations.referenceterm-110475adlib-term-110475223ae6a7-2f91-3314-ae3c-da3233ae47dc16th Century, Midreferenceterm-15498adlib-term-1549861725bf5-360f-3837-8aab-3c90b956a537literalFranceFrancecountryliteralHaute VienneHaute VienneregionLimogesreferenceterm-109995adlib-term-10999514d3bd3d-9589-392f-af47-7df0338ec440literalSwitzerlandSwitzerlandcountryBaselreferencemedia-136149adlib-media-136149395e674c-1aed-3d64-b2d8-8a7f235e664ajpegaa/aa20/M_49_1904_204_20_281_29.jpg1heightpixels760widthpixels64116162492627181imagejpegaa/aa20/mid_M_49_1904_204_20_281_29.jpg1heightpixels593widthpixels50016162492627181imagejpegaa/aa20/M_49_1904_204_20_281_29.jpg1heightpixels760widthpixels64116162492627181imagejpegaa/aa20/preview_M_49_1904_204_20_281_29.jpg1heightpixels296widthpixels25016162492627181image0media
