EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite painting titled "Saint Germain d Auxerre et Sainte Genevieve de Paris" by Laurent de la Hyre. Created in 1630, this masterpiece is a prime example of French Baroque art and is currently housed in the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg. The painting depicts two significant figures from Catholic history - Saint Germain d Auxerre or Saint Germain l Auxerrois (378-448) and Sainte Genevieve (423-502 or 512). Both saints hold great importance to the city of Paris, with Genevieve being its patron saint and also revered as the patroness of gendarmes. In this scene, we witness Bishop Germain d'Auxerre alongside Genevieve, who is portrayed as a devout woman. They are surrounded by angels and seraphs, creating an ethereal atmosphere that adds to the spiritual significance of the artwork. The vibrant colors used by La Hyre bring life to every detail, making it a visual feast for art enthusiasts. The composition beautifully captures a moment where both saints are present before us - perhaps offering their blessings or guidance. It's fascinating to observe their expressions and gestures; Germain holds his crosier while Genevieve humbly prostrates herself before them. This remarkable piece not only celebrates religious devotion but also exemplifies the mastery of Laurent de la Hyre as an artist during the seventeenth century. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder
