"The Chapel of the Virgin at the Eglise Saint-Gervais Paris" is a notable 19th-century fresco created by French artist Prosper Lafaye (1806–1883), also known as Prosper Lafait, located within the Eglise Saint-Gervais-Saint-Protais, a church situated in the Marais district of Paris, France. This work of art is significant for its artistic merit and as an example of religious art from the period. The fresco adorns the Chapel of the Virgin, a space dedicated to the veneration of the Virgin Mary within the church, which is itself a historical monument dating back to the 15th century, although the site has been a place of worship since much earlier times.

Prosper Lafaye, a student of the renowned French painter Ingres, was an accomplished artist of the Romantic period, known for his religious compositions, portraits, and historical scenes. His work in the Eglise Saint-Gervais is a testament to his skill in fresco technique and his ability to convey spiritual themes with a delicate interplay of color and light. The fresco depicts the Virgin Mary, a central figure in Catholic iconography, surrounded by angels and other religious motifs that are typical of the Marian iconography of the time.

The Chapel of the Virgin's fresco is an integral part of the church's rich artistic heritage, which includes works by other prominent artists of various periods. The Eglise Saint-Gervais-Saint-Protais itself is known for its architectural beauty, with a Gothic structure that has been modified over the centuries, and its significant role in the religious and cultural history of Paris. The fresco by Prosper Lafaye contributes to the church's standing as a repository of French religious art and as a destination for those interested in the artistic expressions of faith.

In creating the fresco, Lafaye contributed to the long tradition of decorating Christian sacred spaces with imagery intended to inspire devotion and reflection among the faithful. The Chapel of the Virgin at the Eglise Saint-Gervais Paris remains an important piece within this tradition, offering insight into the religious sensibilities and artistic conventions of 19th-century France.
