EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the preparatory study of a tapestry cartoon depicting a significant moment from the life of Christ. Created by Henri Lerambert in the late 16th century, this artwork showcases Jesus healing a paralytic at Capernaum. The scene is filled with an array of characters, both male and female, as they gather around Jesus in awe. His divine presence is emphasized by the radiant halo that surrounds his head, known as a nimbus. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as onlookers witness this miraculous act unfold before their eyes. The focus of the composition lies on the paralytic individual who kneels before Jesus, seeking solace and healing. Lerambert's meticulous attention to detail brings out every emotion etched onto their faces - hope mixed with desperation for liberation from physical limitations. The artist's use of pierre noire (black stone) and wash techniques creates depth and texture within the drawing while white highlights add luminosity to certain areas. This renaissance-style artwork exudes grace and elegance through its delicate lines and masterful shading. Originally intended for use in Saint-Merri Church in Paris during the late 16th century, this preparatory study served as a guide for creating a tapestry that would adorn its walls. Today, it stands as a testament to Lerambert's skillful artistry and serves as an enduring reminder of Christ's ability to heal even those considered disabled or crippled.
