About the piece
Created in 1830 by French artist François-Louis Dejuinne, this oil sketch is a preparatory study for the Church of Notre-Dame-de-Lorette in Paris. It depicts the consecration of Saint Genevieve by Saint Germain, Bishop of Auxerre. The composition features a striking contrast between the bishop’s bold red robes and the girl's pure white garment, all set beneath a soft, atmospheric cluster of cherubs typical of Romantic-era religious painting.
