Pastoral Life of Saint Geneviève (right panel) c. 1888

Georges-William Thornley’s *Pastoral Life of Saint Geneviève (right panel)*, created around 1888, is a lithograph that depicts a scene from the life of Saint Geneviève. This drawing focuses on Saint Geneviève, a central figure in French history, and her followers. They are all adorned in traditional attire, and a small dragon lies at their feet, symbolizing the challenges they faced. Thornley's work uses a high-contrast style, with dramatic lighting and fine lines to create a sense of grandeur and spirituality, a characteristic of the 19th-century revival of historic styles and themes in art. This piece is part of a larger series of works related to Saint Geneviève and is currently located in The Art Institute of Chicago.
