"Louis Charles Timbal (1821 - 1880) Sermon Of Saint Rose Of Viterbo"
This large unfinished painting seems to be an early version of the work presented at the Salon of 1861 (n°2960). "A sermon of Saint Rose of Viterbo, by M. Timbal, is a picture of a lofty and pure style of deep religious feeling. The young saint, twelve years old, preaches in the street; she raises to heaven her small joined hands, and its citizens, bishops, monks, men-at-arms, bourgeois, listen to it with respect and forget their discords.A sober, harmonious and soft color, dresses this composition where revives, without pastiche, the spirit of the Middle Ages". - Théophile Gauthier, Primer of the Salon of 1861, p.337-338
