Grégoire Huret "La Flagellation du Christ", vers 1660, dessin à la pierre noire et estompe, avec traces de rehauts de craie blanche sur papier

Black chalk and stump with traces of white on paper

873-2-96

Bequeathed by Jean Marie de Silguy in 1864

H. 46,5 cm - L. 30,4 cm

This drawing was intended to illustrate a plate for the “Théâtre de la Passion de notre Seigneur Jésus Christ” that Huret himself published in 1664, aimed at « people who were devout and curious about the art of portraiture ». He was one of the best-known engravers of his time – five hundred works – ranging from portraits to religious subjects through illustrations for philosophy or theology theses.  His drawings are very rare.
