Jules Victor Génisson was academically trained and specialized in architectural subjects. He travelled throughout Europe painting churches, cathedrals, and convents. Gennison’s painting of the vaulted interior of St. Salvatore’s Cathedral reveals his draftsmanship and appreciation for architecture.
