Esquisse pour l'église Saint-Séverin: Saint Séverin, abbé d'Agaune, guérit le roi Clovis. Saint Séverin le solitaire donnant l'habit monastique à saint Cloud is a painting by Sébastien-Melchior Cornu, a 19th-century French artist known for his religious and historical works. This painting is an esquisse, or sketch, intended for the Church of Saint-Séverin in Paris. It depicts two significant events in the life of Saint Séverin, a revered figure in Christian history.

The first scene illustrates Saint Séverin, the abbot of Agaune, performing a miraculous healing on King Clovis, the first King of the Franks to unite all the Frankish tribes under one ruler. This event is significant as it symbolizes the early Christianization of the Frankish kingdom, marking a pivotal moment in European history. The healing of Clovis by Saint Séverin is often interpreted as a divine endorsement of Clovis's reign and his subsequent conversion to Christianity.

The second scene portrays Saint Séverin as a hermit, bestowing the monastic habit upon Saint Cloud, also known as Clodoald. Saint Cloud was a grandson of Clovis and chose a monastic life over royal power, becoming a monk and later a saint. This act of giving the monastic habit signifies the transmission of spiritual authority and the continuation of Christian monastic traditions.

Cornu's work is characterized by its detailed depiction of religious themes, capturing the spiritual essence and historical context of the subjects. The painting reflects the 19th-century French interest in religious history and the revival of Catholic art during this period. Although Cornu may not be as widely recognized today, his contributions to religious art remain significant, particularly in the context of ecclesiastical commissions like this one for the Church of Saint-Séverin.

This esquisse serves as a testament to Cornu's skill in conveying complex religious narratives through art, blending historical accuracy with spiritual symbolism.
