This print showcases a sketch of "The Martyrdom of Saint John the Evangelist" by Charles Le Brun. Painted in 1641, this oil on canvas masterpiece is housed at the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France. The artwork depicts the intense and poignant moment of Saint John's martyrdom. In this striking composition, we witness the saint's agony as he endures immense pain and suffering. A soldier stands nearby, representing the forces that persecuted him for his religious beliefs. Despite his torment, an angel hovers above Saint John, symbolizing divine intervention and spiritual guidance during times of tribulation. Le Brun's meticulous brushwork brings to life every detail within this sketch. The artist expertly captures the raw emotions etched onto Saint John's face while simultaneously conveying a sense of movement through dynamic lines and shapes.
