St. John the Evangelist, c. 1700-1702. Creator: Charles de La Fosse (French, 1636-1716)
St. John the Evangelist, c. 1700-1702. This drawing is a study for a fresco in the Parisian church of Les Invalides. La Fosse portrayed the religious figures with power and exuberance, imbuing his decorative scheme with unprecedented vigor. Drawings by La Fosse are difficult to find in the United States, and this sheet is an exceptional example of the artists trois crayons (three-chalk) technique of using black, red, and white chalk together. The chalks are subtly blended, creating the effect of billowing drapery rather than stiff linearity

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable artwork of Charles de La Fosse, a renowned French artist from the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The image depicts St. John the Evangelist, captured in stunning detail and brought to life through La Fosse's masterful brushwork. Created as a study for a fresco in the esteemed Parisian church of Les Invalides, this drawing exemplifies La Fosse's ability to infuse religious figures with power and exuberance. His unique decorative scheme radiates an unprecedented vigor that captivates viewers. What makes this particular print even more exceptional is its rarity in the United States. Drawings by La Fosse are hard to come by, making this sheet an extraordinary find for art enthusiasts and collectors alike. It showcases the artist's trois crayons technique, which involves skillfully blending black, red, and white chalk together. The result is truly mesmerizing - billowing drapery that appears alive rather than constrained by stiff lines. This delicate balance between form and fluidity demonstrates La Fosse's artistic prowess. Preserved within this print is not just a piece of history but also a testament to Charles de La Fosse's enduring legacy as one of France's most celebrated artists. Its presence at The Cleveland Museum of Art ensures that future generations can appreciate his genius firsthand.
