Not on view
With this oil sketch, Flandrin prepared his design for the figure of Hezekiah, one of the heroes of the Old Testament that he painted in the nave of the Church of Saint-Germain-des-Près in Paris. The interior redecoration of the old abbey was one of the most ambitious religious decorative programs completed in France in the nineteenth century.
