1840
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Sketches in Belgium and Germany, Volume I: Pulpit in the Cathedral of Treves is a 1840 by Louis Haghe, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a church interior with a tall, ornate pulpit. The pulpit is detailed with carvings, statues of angels, and a small staircase. A man stands at the pulpit, preaching to a crowd below, while another person sits reading in the shadows. The artist focused on the light and shadows to show depth, making the carvings pop. This was common in Romantic-era sketches to highlight drama. Next, check out Romanticism to see how artists used emotion and detail like this.
Louis Haghe (17 March 1806 – 9 March 1885) was a lithographer and watercolourist from the Netherlands and then the United Kingdom.
