Further details

GÉRARD AUDRAN, EPITAPH OF CARDINAL RICHELIEU WITH SKELETONS HOLDING A CARTOUCHE, PEN AND BROWN AND GREY INK, GREY WASH, PEN AND BROWN INK FRAMING LINES, INCISED FOR TRANSFER

This large sheet served as the model for an engraving of Cardinal de Richelieu’s epitaph, affixed to the wall of his funerary chapel in the church of the Sorbonne in Paris, and published after his death. The eulogy to Richelieu found in the print is replaced in this drawing by a later 18th century text that celebrates the painter and professor Jean-Baptiste Descamps (1706-1791) from Rouen, who at some point had owned the drawing. Descamps is praised for having brought to Rouen a taste for art and architecture, and for having reinvigorated local artistic production. According to the author of the inscription, the verso of the drawing, which is now fully laid down, was covered in red chalk as part of the process of transferring it to the copper plate.
