EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the profound artwork of "Christ on the cross" by Charles Le Brun, created around 1685. The print showcases the intricate details of Le Brun's pierre noire drawing with delicate white chalk highlights on beige paper. Measuring 40.9x28.8 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the Louvre's Cabinet de dessins in Paris, France. The image portrays Jesus Christ crucified, his body exposed and vulnerable against a stark background. It evokes a sense of intense suffering and impending death as he hangs upon the cross. Every line and stroke in this drawing reflects Le Brun's meticulous study of human anatomy and emotion. Photographed by Adolphe Giraudon around 1898-99, this photo beautifully preserves the essence of Le Brun's original work while adding its own timeless quality to it. The rehauts craie blanche (white chalk highlights) enhance certain features, emphasizing Christ's agony even further. This powerful depiction invites viewers to contemplate the depth of Jesus' sacrifice on Calvary as they observe every detail - from his outstretched arms to his anguished expression. Through this photograph, we are reminded not only of Christ's physical pain but also his unwavering devotion to humanity.
