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

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.

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.
