Charles LE BRUN (1619-1690), follower of The Elevation of the Cross Black stone and red chalk 54 x 71.5 cm insolate, scratches Based on the composition by Charles Le Brun now in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Troyes. Charles Le Brun (1619-1690), King Louis XIV's first painter, produced L'Élévation de la Croix (c. 1650-1660), a dramatic Baroque composition showing Christ hoisted onto the cross by muscular Roman soldiers, Mary fainting and supported by the Maries, a restless crowd and a tormented sky. Here, Le Brun deploys his genius for intense facial expressions, contrasts of light and theatrical gestures, influenced by Rubens and the Roman Baroque, in the service of powerful religious emotion and masterful French classicism.
