About the piece
Created in 1827 by Joseph-Ferdinand Lancrenon, this luminous oil sketch serves as a study for the Church of Saint-Laurent in Paris. The composition captures the ethereal apotheosis of Saint Genevieve, shown rising toward a heavenly glow while accompanied by melodic angels and playful putti, all rendered in a soft, atmospheric palette characteristic of the French Romantic era.
