EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a preparatory study of the famous tapestry cartoon for the Church Saint-Merri in Paris, depicting "Life of Christ, the Meal at the House of Simon the Pharisee". Created by Henri Lerambert in 1585-90, this Renaissance drawing showcases his incredible talent and attention to detail. In this scene, we see Jesus seated at a grand banquet table surrounded by male and female figures. The atmosphere is filled with an air of hospitality as Simon the Pharisee hosts this feast. St. Mary Magdalene kneels before Jesus, repentant and humbled by his presence. With utmost reverence, she wipes and washes his feet while holding an ointment vase close by. Lerambert's use of pierre noire and wash techniques brings depth to each character's expression and attire. Their headdresses, turbans, and intricate clothing are meticulously rendered with white highlights adding a touch of elegance. The artist skillfully incorporates squared paper for transfer purposes, showcasing his meticulous planning process. This technique allows for precise proportions when creating large-scale tapestries like those found in churches during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from centuries ago, we can't help but be transported back in time to witness this sacred moment unfold before our eyes. It serves as a reminder of both Jesus' teachings on humility and forgiveness as well as Lerambert's artistic genius that continues to captivate audiences today.
