EDITORS COMMENTS
Esquisse pour l'église Notre-Dame-de-Lorette: Apothéose de sainte Geneviève," a stunning oil painting by the renowned French artist Eugène Deveria, dates back to 1835. The captivating artwork depicts the apotheosis, or the ascension to heaven, of Saint Geneviève, the patron saint of Paris. The painting showcases a grand scene of the saint, surrounded by angels, ascending towards the heavens. The angels, with their outstretched hands and radiant expressions, gesture towards the saint, guiding her on her celestial journey. The use of vibrant colors and rich brushstrokes brings the scene to life, transporting the viewer into the sacred space of the church. The painting was originally intended as a sketch for the decoration of the Notre-Dame-de-Lorette church in Paris. The apotheosis of Saint Geneviève was meant to be a central feature of the interior design, adding to the religious and heritage value of the institution. The artwork is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of France during the nineteenth century. Eugène Deveria masterfully captures the essence of the saint and the divine light that surrounds her, creating a powerful and moving image that continues to inspire and captivate viewers to this day. The painting is now a cherished piece of the collection at the Musée du Petit Palais in Paris, where it is admired by visitors from around the world. The painting's intricate details, from the folds of the saint's robes to the rays of light that illuminate the scene, can be fully appreciated up close, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and religion.
