EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithograph captures the poignant moment of The Death of St Genevieve, a revered figure known for her selfless acts of kindness and wisdom. Saint Genevieve passed away at the age of ninety in 512, leaving behind a legacy of compassion and strength. In times of crisis, such as when Attila was on the brink of attacking Paris or during the Frankish invasion of Gaul, she provided solace and support to those in need.
The artist Jean Paul Laurens beautifully depicts the scene where thousands gather to receive St Genevieve's final blessing before she departs from this world. Her life story is one filled with devotion to others and unwavering faith in God.
This historical illustration from Hutchinson's History of Nations transports us back to ancient Roman Gaul, where St Genevieve's presence brought hope and comfort to many. The black-and-white imagery adds a sense of timelessness to this artwork, emphasizing the enduring impact that figures like St Genevieve have had on society.
As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the power of empathy and generosity in shaping our world for the better. St Genevieve may have left this earth centuries ago, but her spirit lives on through acts of kindness and love that continue to inspire us today.
