EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "St Genevieve" transports us back to the enchanting world of medieval France. The image, a colour lithograph by an anonymous French School artist from the 19th century, showcases St Genevieve, the revered patron saint of Paris. The scene depicts a young shepherdess with her faithful dog standing in front of a majestic stone church dedicated to St Genevieve. She holds a walking stick and gazes at the monument with reverence and awe. Surrounding them are sheep peacefully grazing on lush green grass. This historical artwork is an illustration for "Le Genie de la France" by J. B. J Champagnac, published in 1850. It beautifully captures the essence of religious devotion during this era, as well as showcasing architectural marvels that were integral parts of daily life. Through this image, we glimpse into the rich tapestry of French history and culture. We are reminded of St Genevieve's significance in protecting Paris against invasions during the Frankish period and how she became an emblematic figure associated with Christian values. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, this print serves as both a testament to artistic excellence and a window into centuries past. It invites us to reflect on our own spiritual beliefs while appreciating the artistry behind this timeless piece.
