Riassunto:The recent restoration of two unpublished paintings by Bernard-Joseph Wampe (Lille, 1689 – Lille, 1744) preserved in the Church of Saint André in Châteauroux has shed light on the plan of a cycle of eight canvases dedicated to the Life of the Virgin, commissioned in the 1730s to decorate the Church of the Capucins du Marais in Paris, to which Robert de Séry, Dandré-Bardon and Collin de Vermont also contributed. Dispersed during the period of the Revolution, the ensemble illustrates the mechanisms of artistic commissions and the vitality of religious painting in Paris, during a period when the taste for grand genre was at its last heights. The paintings in Châteauroux represent an important contribution to the appreciation of the work of the winner of the first prize from the Academie Royale de Peinture. They are his only Parisian commission that is known today.
