EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch, titled "Sketch for the church of Saint-Gervais: Jesus and the Four Evangelists," is an exquisite work of art created by the renowned French painter, Sébastien Louis Guillaume Norblin de la Gourdaine, between 1869 and 1872. The painting depicts a serene indoor setting, with Jesus Christ at the center, surrounded by the four evangelists – Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John – each identified by their traditional symbols. Jesus is shown with his hand gesturing in a blessing pose, while the evangelists are engaged in various poses, some with their hands open in reverence, others with their hands holding their symbols. The scene is bathed in soft, ethereal light, with rays of light streaming in from the windows, casting a warm glow over the figures. The background of the painting features a beautiful landscape, with clouds and a clear blue sky, suggesting an idyllic and peaceful setting. The use of rich colors and intricate details adds to the painting's charm and makes it a stunning representation of the Christian faith. This sketch was likely a preliminary design for a larger work of art intended for the Church of Saint-Gervais in Paris, which was undergoing renovations during this time. Norblin de la Gourdaine was a prominent figure in the Paris art scene, and his works can be found in various museums throughout the city. The Petit Palais in Paris is just one of the institutions that houses Norblin de la Gourdaine's masterpieces, making this sketch an important piece of French heritage art. With its intricate details, beautiful colors, and profound religious symbolism, this sketch is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and the evolution of religious iconography.
