EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite portrayal of St. Genevieve, a revered figure from the heroines of France series in Le Petit Journal. Created by Lionel Noel Royer in 1896, this vibrant colour lithograph captures the essence and significance of this iconic saint. Legend has it that St. Genevieve played a crucial role in saving Paris during the Frankish siege led by Childeric, preventing the arrival of Atilla and his fearsome Huns. In this image, we witness her standing gracefully on a boat, symbolizing her journey as she emerges as the savior of Gauls. Dressed as a shepherdess with an aura of strength and determination surrounding her, St. Genevieve commands respect and admiration from all who behold her presence. Her halo shines brightly above her head, signifying her divine connection to spirituality. Intriguingly depicted are individuals prostrating before this remarkable patroness of Paris – warriors paying homage to their protector and nuns acknowledging their spiritual guide. This composition beautifully blends elements of femininity with warrior-like qualities, showcasing St. Genevieve's multifaceted nature. As we delve into this mesmerizing artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness the awe-inspiring power and influence that St. Genevieve held over those who worshipped her devoutly throughout history.
