EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the preparatory study of a tapestry cartoon for the Church Saint-Merri in Paris, dating back to the late 16th century. Created by Henri Lerambert, this piece titled "Life of Christ, Marriage at Cana" depicts a significant biblical event - the wedding feast where Jesus performed his first miracle. The scene is set in an opulent palace, filled with male and female guests celebrating joyously. At the center of attention are Jesus and his mother, Virgin Mary, both adorned with halos symbolizing their divinity. The intricate details of their clothing - from turbans to mitres - showcase the Renaissance influence on this artwork. In one corner stands a group of servants holding jars and ewers filled with water. It is here that Jesus miraculously transforms water into wine, as depicted in this sketch. The artist's use of pierre noire (black stone) combined with wash technique brings depth and texture to each stroke. Notably, squared paper can be seen overlaid on top of the drawing; this grid was used for transferring the design onto larger surfaces such as tapestries or frescoes. Lerambert's meticulous attention to detail transports us back in time to witness this extraordinary moment firsthand. This print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and religious devotion during France's rich cultural history.
