# Christ The Judge [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [LA HYRE, Laurent de]() - Date: 1601-1650 - Technique: Oil on canvas and wood, 36 x 23 cm ## Commentary In 1648 for the refectory of the convent of the Miinims on the Place Royale in Paris, Laurent de La Hyre painted a series of grisailles representing the prophet Elijah, Christ, St John the Baptist, and effigies of saintly founders of orders or doctors of the Church. That decoration disappeared when the convent was demolished in 1926, it is known only by the series of seventeen small-format grisaille studies painted on canvas. The figures are all full-length and wear a draped white robe that some historians describe as antique. This picture is one of the seventeen studies. ## Related artworks - [Abraham Sacrificing Isaac]() - [Allegory of Arithmetic]() - [Allegory of Astronomy]() - [Allegory of Geometry]() - [Allegory of Geometry]() - [Allegory of Grammar]() - [Allegory of Grammar]() - [Allegory of Music]() - [Allegory of the Regency]() - [Angelica and Medoro \(detail\)]() - [Angelica and Medoro]() - [Cornelia Refusses the Crown of the Ptolomai]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
