EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the preparatory study of a tapestry cartoon for the Church Saint-Merri in Paris, dating back to 1585-90. Created by Henri Lerambert, this piece titled "Life of Christ, Adoration of the Magi" depicts a significant moment from the Histoire du Christ. Intricately detailed with pierre noire and wash techniques, Lerambert's drawing showcases the adoration of baby Jesus by three kings: Melchior, Balthasar, and Caspar. The holy family - Mary, Joseph, and Jesus - are surrounded by an aura of divinity as they receive precious gifts of gold, myrrh, and frankincense. The composition exudes a sense of reverence as horses and camels stand nearby while their riders worship the infant Messiah. Lerambert's skillful use of light highlights adds depth to each figure's expression and enhances their ethereal presence. Notably captured in this image is squared paper used for transfer purposes during its creation process. This grid-like pattern reveals the meticulous planning behind every stroke that brings this Renaissance masterpiece to life. Preserved at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris since its creation over four centuries ago, this artwork continues to inspire awe with its timeless portrayal of devotion and faith. A true testament to Lerambert's artistic prowess and dedication to his craft.
