NOTE

Although Jules Victor Genisson painted many historical scenes, town views and portraits, he particularly excelled in church interiors like the present lot. This is the subject which earned him his greatest fame. His sure hand and great eye for minute detail turned him into a master of genre painting. The present lot emulates the lively atmosphere of the church, which Genisson adorned with many figures in historical costumes.
