St. Genoveva
around 1470/75, Artist: Hugo van der Goes
St. Genoveva
When closed, the “Diptych with the Fall of Man and Salvation” on its outer side (today split off) showed St. Genoveva in shades of grey as a stone sculpture in a niche. The grisaille technique lends the figure a certain three-dimensional character. St. Genoveva, Patron Saint of the city of Paris, is depicted with her attribute, a devil blowing out the candle.
