Restructure[edit]

The expansion is still a bit ragged, more to come. - PKM (talk) 05:15, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Less ragged now. - PKM (talk) 02:46, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cut[edit]

I have cut this section, as I can find no support for the claim that the picture is by Gheeraerts and the image doesn't cite a source:

left|thumb|A Group of Protestant Divines c.1600, Oil on canvas 94x140cm, Private collection

In this anti-Catholic satire, the Pope, Cardinals, and a pig spit on a group of Reformation leaders, including Martin Luther, Calvin, Beza and other Protestants. This painting is a political cartoon that was a base for publications in Protestant prints for centuries and is comparable with the satirical works of Lucas Cranach the Younger. - PKM (talk) 03:57, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Correct - see here [1] -"English school 17th century" - not bad for £1,400, though - less than £100 per divine, & the Pope for free. I imagine the print preceded the painting. Johnbod (talk) 08:12, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good detecting - thanks!

There was some likely copyvio text in the article (references to images "above" that were never in the article) but I have pulled all of that in rewrite. Will be adding stuff from Strong 1969 next. - PKM (talk) 17:17, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And that is done now as well. - PKM (talk) 18:07, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
