EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a preparatory study of Lerambert's "Life of Christ" tapestry cartoon, specifically depicting Jesus chasing the merchants from the Temple. Created around 1585-90 for the Church Saint-Merri in Paris, this artwork showcases Henri Lerambert's remarkable talent. In this powerful scene, Jesus is depicted with an expression of righteous anger as he brandishes a whip to drive out the merchants who have turned his Father's house into a marketplace. The chaos and disorder that ensue are palpable, with coins scattered on the ground and stalls tumbling over. The merchants and moneylenders cower before Jesus' wrathful presence. The artist skillfully uses pierre noire, wash, and white highlights on paper to bring depth and intensity to this renaissance drawing. The squared paper visible in the image indicates how Lerambert meticulously transferred his sketch onto larger surfaces for further work. This evocative composition also includes key elements such as columns symbolizing strength and stability, scales representing justice or judgment, and Peter - one of Jesus' apostles - observing from afar. The priestly figures present add another layer of significance to this profound moment. Lerambert's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pen; capturing not only physical attributes but also conveying emotions like rage and determination through his subjects' expressions. This artwork serves as a testament to both religious devotion and artistic excellence during its time. Image credit: www. bridgemanimages. com
