1845
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Sketches in Belgium and Germany, First Series, Pulpit in the Cathedral of Treves is a 1845 by Louis Haghe, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a tall, fancy pulpit inside a church. A priest stands on the top step, preaching to a crowd below. The pulpit is carved with angels, small scenes, and swirling designs. People sit on the floor, listening closely, while a nun writes in a book to the side. The artist focused on the details of the church’s architecture, like the curved arches and tall windows. The sketch feels like a snapshot of daily life in a cathedral. Look up Romanticism next to see how this style valued emotion and everyday scenes.
Louis Haghe (17 March 1806 – 9 March 1885) was a lithographer and watercolourist from the Netherlands and then the United Kingdom.
