Sainte Geneviève apaisant la peste des ardents

Saint Geneviève is depicted elevated on clouds at the upper left, wearing a blue mantle over a pale gown, with angels nearby, while a crowd of kneeling and gesturing men, women, and children fills the lower and right portions of the scene. A strong diagonal movement guides the eye from the distressed figures beneath up toward the saint, set against a dark architectural interior on the right and a bright, heavenly light surrounding the celestial figure. The palette blends warm earth tones with vivid blues, yellows, and reds, using dramatic chiaroscuro and energetic brushwork characteristic of an 18th‑century French Baroque religious painting.
