EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the preparatory study of a tapestry cartoon titled "Life of Christ, St. Paul preaching". Created by Henri Lerambert in Paris between 1585-90, this remarkable piece is housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale. The image depicts St. Paul, an apostle and missionary known for his powerful oratory skills, delivering a passionate speech to a captivated audience. With his arm raised high and eyes filled with conviction, he stands as a symbol of Christian faith and devotion. Lerambert's Renaissance-style drawing beautifully captures the essence of this pivotal moment in biblical history. The use of pierre noire (black stone) combined with wash techniques creates depth and texture that bring the scene to life. Notably, squared paper can be seen beneath the drawing—a technique called mise au carreau—used for transferring the design onto another medium such as tapestry. This meticulous process ensures accuracy and precision in translating Lerambert's vision into woven art. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork, we are transported back in time to witness St. Paul's fervent proclamation amidst an ancient Athenian backdrop. It serves as a testament to both religious devotion and artistic mastery during the Renaissance period. This photograph from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Lerambert's skillful draftsmanship while providing insight into the creative process behind monumental tapestries like those found at Church Saint-Merri in Paris.
