EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a preparatory study of the tapestry cartoon "Life of Christ, Christ on the road to Emmaus" by Henri Lerambert. Created between 1585-1590, this exquisite piece was intended for the Church Saint-Merri in Paris. The artwork depicts a significant moment from the story of Jesus' life - his encounter with two disciples on their way to Emmaus. In this scene, we see Jesus walking along a picturesque landscape, accompanied by his disciples. He carries a staff and wears a humble hat as he engages in conversation with them. The composition exudes tranquility and serenity, capturing the essence of this profound encounter. The artist's attention to detail is evident through his use of pierre noire and wash techniques, accentuated by delicate white highlights on paper. This renaissance-style drawing beautifully portrays the vision of resurrection that unfolds before Cleopas and Simon during their supper with Jesus. The presence of halos or nimbus around certain figures signifies their divine nature while adding an ethereal touch to the composition. Lerambert's skillful execution is further emphasized by squared paper used for transfer purposes. This remarkable artwork not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also invites viewers into an intimate moment from biblical history. It reminds us of the enduring power and significance found within religious narratives while showcasing Lerambert's talent as a skilled draftsman during this period in French art history.
