Balthasar Moncornet Benedictine Engraving On Laid Paper Moncornet Balthasar Moncornet Balthazar Monk Monks Benedictine Monk

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black and white portrait, Balthasar Moncornet captures the profound contemplative nature of Gregorius Tarrisse, a Benedictine monk. The engraving on laid paper depicts Dom Tarrisse, also known as Dom Gregoire or Jean Tarrisse, with a serious expression and a thick beard that frames his face. Dressed in the traditional Benedictine monk's habit, he gazes off into the distance, lost in thought. Balthasar Moncornet, a renowned artist and engraver, expertly captures the textures of the monk's clothing and the subtle details of his facial features. The use of black and white adds a sense of timelessness and solemnity to the image, further emphasizing the monk's devotion and commitment to his religious order. Dom Tarrisse was a prominent figure in the Benedictine community during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His life was dedicated to the study and practice of Christianity, and he spent many years serving in various monasteries. This portrait, created by Moncornet, offers a glimpse into the quiet intensity and deep spirituality of the monk's life. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is home to this remarkable piece of heritage art. The portrait is a testament to Moncornet's skill as an artist and serves as a reminder of the rich artistic and religious heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us today. Whether admired in person or as a print, this image of Gregorius Tarrisse invites us to reflect on the enduring power of faith and the human spirit.
