About the piece
Created as a study for the Church of Notre-Dame-de-Bonne-Nouvelle in Paris, this work captures Saint Zacharias with a sense of quiet dignity. The luminous golden robes of the saint contrast against the cool tones of the stone alcove and blue background, reflecting the masterful religious painting traditions of 19th-century France.
