Lollardy, 19th century. Lollardy or Lollardism was a political and religious movement that existed from the mid 14th century until the English Reformation in the 16th century. The Lollards were initially led by John Wycliffe, a Catholic theologian who was dismissed from the University of Oxford in 1381 for heresy. Copy after Schikaneder, whose first well-known work was the monumental painting "Repentance of the Lollards", since lost. From "La Ilustracion Artistica" (Artistic Illustration).
