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, the Raising of the Cross" depicts a pivotal moment in Christian history - the crucifixion. Intricately detailed, this drawing showcases Jesus being lifted onto the cross with ropes while soldiers stand nearby, carrying out their painful task. The Virgin Mary and St. John can be seen mourning at his feet, their expressions filled with sorrow and anguish. Every element in this composition is carefully depicted; from the instruments used for crucifixion such as hammers, nails, and pliers to Golgotha -the place where Jesus was crucified- creating an atmosphere of tension and suffering. Lerambert's use of wash technique adds depth to this Renaissance-inspired artwork while white highlights bring attention to important details like Jesus' halo and loin cloth. The squared paper visible on top suggests that this drawing was intended for transfer onto a larger surface or tapestry. This meticulous process allowed artists like Lerambert to create intricate designs that would later adorn religious spaces. This powerful image serves as a reminder of Christ's sacrifice and invites viewers into contemplation about faith, redemption, and human suffering. A true masterpiece preserved within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris.
