EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a preparatory study of tapestry titled "Life of Christ, Multiplication of the loaves and fishes". Created by Henri Lerambert in the late 16th century, this remarkable piece showcases his mastery of pierre noire and wash techniques with delicate white highlights on paper. Housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this artwork served as a preliminary sketch for a tapestry cartoon intended for the Church Saint-Merri. The scene depicted is one that resonates deeply with Christian tradition - Jesus multiplying loaves and fishes to feed a multitude. The composition beautifully portrays Jesus surrounded by male and female disciples, apostles who witness this miraculous event unfold before their eyes. The crowd eagerly gathers around them, representing those who are starving and hungry for nourishment. Lerambert's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from the intricate landscape to the carefully sketched wicker baskets filled with bread and fish. The use of squared paper adds precision to transfer this design onto tapestry later on. This Renaissance-era drawing not only showcases artistic skill but also conveys an important message about compassion towards those less fortunate. It serves as a reminder that miracles can happen even when faced with scarcity. This powerful image continues to inspire viewers today through its timeless depiction of faith, generosity, and hope.
