Le Miracle de saint Bonaventure

François Lombard · Domaine public

This painting depicts a miracle attributed to Saint Bonaventure, in which a sick child is saved through the saint’s intervention. Created as an ex-voto by a grateful family, it illustrates the central role of faith and saints in everyday life, especially in the face of illness and high child mortality.
