The work

Alfred Elmore RA was a British historical genre painter. He was born in Clonakilty, Ireland, the son of Dr. John Richard Elmore, a surgeon who retired from the British Army in Clonakilty. His family moved to London, where Elmore studied at the Royal Academy of Arts. His early works were in the troubadour style of Richard Parkes Bonington, but he soon became involved with religious works, notably The Martyrdom of Thomas à Becket, commissioned by Daniel O'Connell for Westland Row Church in Dublin. Between 1840 and 1844 Elmore traveled throughout Europe, visiting Munich, Venice, Bologna and Florence. Elmore appears to have been associated with The Clique, a group of young artists who considered themselves followers of Hogarth and David Wilkie. According to his friend William Powell Frith was a member of the group, but as he was most active while in continental Europe, his involvement was probably short-lived. Most of Elmore's later works were historical fiction paintings. Religious Conflict and The Novice had an implicitly anti-Catholic character. Other paintings set episodes from Shakespeare or the history of the French Revolution.
