La Passion selon SAINT-LUC
T he third gospel after
Matthew's and Mark's,
written directly in greek by Luke the doctor, the most intellectual but not the
least delicate of the four Evangelists, brings out the role of women in the
Passion of Christ. Only a Woman could render all the emotion it
contains and pay homage to these "humble daughters of Jerusalem" who
accompanied Jesus on his Way of the Cross. With 14
copperplates, colored
dabbed by Francine et Jean Cappelle, and
18 solégraphs,
Danièle Fuchs, disciple of Dunoyer de Segonzac,
expresses through her hand and heart, with a quivering sensibility, the two
thousand-years-old message of God's son.
Hand set in
foundry type 24 point Garamond, the
edition consists of 150 numbered copies on
finest papers Moulin du Gué and Vélin
d'Arches. The work was printed on Pierre Jean Mathan's press. Each illustration
is signed. It
is presented in quarto royal size (25 x 32 cm) on loose leaves in
a Bernard Duval box including a sculpture of the Artist,
gilded with 22-carat fine gold by Monique Varacka.
