EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a preparatory study of the tapestry cartoon for the Church Saint-Merri in Paris, depicting "Life of Christ, the Last Supper". Created by Henri Lerambert between 1585-1590, this exquisite piece showcases his mastery of pierre noire and wash techniques with delicate white highlights on paper. The image portrays a significant moment in Christian history - Jesus sharing his last meal with his disciples before his crucifixion. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he meticulously sketches each apostle around a table, capturing their expressions and gestures. The disciples' tunic-clad figures are arranged in an intricate grid pattern, emphasizing order and symmetry. Amidst them sits Jesus Christ himself, portrayed with divine radiance through the nimbus surrounding his head. John stands out among the apostles, depicted with a halo symbolizing his special relationship with Jesus. Judas Iscariot can also be identified amongst them, foreshadowing betrayal. The squared paper visible in the background indicates that this drawing was intended for transfer onto another medium such as tapestry or mural. This technique allowed for precise replication while maintaining artistic integrity. This remarkable artwork not only serves as a visual representation of biblical events but also exemplifies Lerambert's skillful execution during the Renaissance period. Preserved by Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris since its creation, this photograph from Fine Art Finder offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both religious significance and
