Description
This is a reproduction of “The Crucifixion” of 1637 by Charles le Brun. This huge religious painting depicts Chrsit on the cross. Le Brun was about eighteen years old when he painted this and went on to dominate French art of the Seventeenth Century and was alled by Louis XIV “the greatest French artist of all time”. The Paris-born Le Brun was placed in an artist’s studio at the age of eleven and within four years he was receiving commissions from Cardinal Richelieu. He went to Rome in the company of Poussin for whom he worked for four years. When he returned to Paris in 1646 he found many patrons and had a role in taking control of the Academy of Painting and Sculpture and the Academy of France in Rome. He was a power-player at court but, towards the end of his life, had a decline in fortunes after the fall of his patron Colbert. He died in his private mansion in Paris in 1690. This masterpiece is an oil on panel and measures 20.47 by 16.14 inches. It is in the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow.
