EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch by Eugène Deveria, titled "Apotheosis of Saint Genevieve," dates back to around 1835 and serves as a preliminary design for a painting that was later installed in Notre-Dame-de-Lorette church in Paris. The 5th-century Saint Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris, is depicted in the center of the composition, surrounded by a group of men and women, all gesturing in reverence and admiration. The saint, dressed in the robes of a nun, raises her arms upwards in a posture of deification, signifying her sainthood and divine connection. The sketch, executed in oil on canvas, is a prime example of academic art from the 19th century. The artist, Eugène François Marie Joseph Deveria, masterfully captures the essence of the apotheosis concept, where the subject is elevated to a divine or superhuman status. The use of color and the careful attention to detail in the faces and clothing of the figures further emphasize the historical and religious significance of the scene. The sketch is now part of the collection at Musée Carnavalet in Paris, one of the city's most esteemed museums, and serves as a testament to the rich artistic heritage of France. The painting, based on this sketch, can still be seen in Notre-Dame-de-Lorette church, where it continues to inspire awe and reverence among visitors.
