EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Nicolas de Largilliere's "Ex-Voto" from 1696. Painted with oil on canvas, this masterpiece is housed in St. Etienne du Mont, Paris, France. The painting depicts a significant moment known as the "Voeu des echevins de Paris a Sainte Genevieve" which translates to the oath of the aldermen to St. Genevieve. In this scene, we witness a group of aldermen dressed in their elegant robes and wigs, kneeling in prayer and making a solemn vow before their patron saint, St. Genevieve – who is considered the protector of Paris. The dedication and devotion emanating from these men are palpable as they express their unwavering faith through this act. Largilliere's attention to detail shines through every brushstroke; he expertly captures each individual's portrait with remarkable precision and emotion. The angels surrounding them add an ethereal touch to the composition, further emphasizing the spiritual significance of this momentous occasion. This stunning print serves as a reminder of both historical and religious importance while showcasing Largilliere's exceptional talent as an artist. It invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as faith, devotion, and community bonds that transcend time.
