"The Miracle of St. Genevieve" is an 18th-century oil painting by French artist Gabriel François Doyen. Created in 1764, this work of art depicts a scene from the life of Saint Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris, who was known for her acts of piety and her role in protecting the city through her prayers and interventions. The painting illustrates the miraculous event in which St. Genevieve, through her intercession, is said to have saved Paris from Attila the Hun and his marauding forces in 451 AD.

Gabriel François Doyen, born in 1726 and deceased in 1806, was a prominent painter of the French Rococo period, known for his religious and mythological scenes. He was a student of Charles-Joseph Natoire and later became a professor at the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in Paris. Doyen's work was characterized by its dramatic expression, vibrant color palette, and dynamic compositions, which were well received in the context of the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on engaging religious art.

"The Miracle of St. Genevieve" is considered one of Doyen's masterpieces and is notable for its emotional intensity and the skillful rendering of the figures, which convey a sense of divine intervention and the fervent faith of the saint. The painting's composition is carefully constructed to lead the viewer's eye to the central figure of St. Genevieve, who is depicted in a moment of ecstatic prayer, surrounded by the citizens of Paris who look to her for salvation.

This work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical relevance, as it reflects the religious sentiments and the veneration of saints that were prevalent in France during the 18th century. "The Miracle of St. Genevieve" remains an important example of Doyen's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of the religious and artistic landscape of the period in which it was created.
