The Right Hand of God Protecting the Faithful


Type: Gallery Image | Not Vetted


Jean Fouquet Painting

This painting is significant to Notre Dame representing the people. Fouquet depicts the religious people of Paris trusting God to get rid of the Demons that are clouding over the city. In the background you can see the clear depiction of Notre Dame. Although there are other chapels depicted, the Notre Dame seems to be highlighted in its spot and stands so tall above the other buildings depicted.Since Notre Dame is so highly highlighted in the painting, it is almost as if the Notre Dame is representing the people standing tall and firm in their Faith.

The Right Hand of God Protecting the Faithful against the Demons,ca. 1452–1460. Jean Fouquet (French, Tours ca. 1425–ca. 1478 Tours). The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Robert Lehman Collection, 1975. 1975.1.2490.
