"St Genevieve Calming the Parisians on the Approach of Attila" is a notable painting by the French artist Jules-Elie Delaunay, created in 1887. This work is a striking example of Delaunay's skill in historical and religious painting, capturing a moment of profound significance in the history of Paris. The painting depicts Saint Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris, who is credited with protecting the city from the Huns led by Attila in the 5th century. According to legend, as panic spread among the Parisians at the news of the approaching Huns, Saint Genevieve urged the people to remain calm and pray, assuring them that the city would be spared.

Delaunay's composition masterfully conveys the tension and anxiety of the Parisians juxtaposed with the serene and resolute figure of Saint Genevieve. The artist employs a dramatic use of light and shadow to highlight the saint's calm demeanor and the contrasting turmoil of the crowd. The painting is rich in detail, with Delaunay's meticulous brushwork bringing to life the varied expressions and emotions of the figures, from fear and despair to hope and faith.

The historical context of the painting is rooted in the late Roman Empire period, a time of great upheaval and uncertainty. Delaunay's work not only reflects the historical narrative but also serves as a testament to the enduring power of faith and leadership in times of crisis. The painting is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where it continues to be admired for its artistic excellence and historical significance. Through "St Genevieve Calming the Parisians on the Approach of Attila," Delaunay offers a poignant reminder of the resilience and spirit of the people of Paris, embodied in their revered patron saint.
