EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment of St. Genevieve Praying to Avert the Coming of Attila and his Huns. Painted by an anonymous French artist in the 17th century, this oil on panel artwork is housed in the Church of Notre-Dame-de-Bonne-Nouvelle in Paris, France. The scene depicts St. Genevieve, a shepherdess turned nun who became known as the patroness and savior of Paris during a time of great peril. With her hands clasped together in fervent prayer, she beseeches divine intervention to protect her city from the impending invasion by Attila and his barbarian hordes. Intricate details bring this historical event to life - from the sprawling encampment of tents nestled amidst towering mountains, to the imposing walls that surround Paris symbolizing its strength and power. The darkness that looms over the landscape represents both fear and uncertainty. An angelic figure stands beside St. Genevieve, serving as a beacon of hope amidst despair. A candle illuminates their faces, emphasizing their unwavering faith and belief in divine protection. This painting serves as a testament to human resilience and unwavering faith even in times of great adversity. It reminds us that through prayer and steadfast belief, we can find solace even when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to
