This masterpiece, created around 1812, is a stunning depiction of angels bearing the casket of Saint Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris, as she ascends to heaven.

Charlemagne and Hildegarde, as well as Saint Louis and Marguerite of Provence, complete this impressive assembly. The painting's warm, inviting colors and intricate details create an ethereal atmosphere. Angels, depicted as cherubs and amorini, gracefully carry the casket, their wings outstretched in a glowing display of light.
