Pierre Puvis de Chavannes • French • 1824-1898

The Wine Press , 1865, The Phillips Collection

Puvis de Chavannes is best known for his work as a muralist. He was commissioned to create murals for public spaces in Paris, including the Pantheon (1874 – 78, 1893 – 98), the Sorbonne (1889 – 91), and the Hôtel de Ville (1891 – 94), as well as the museum in Amiens (1880 – 82). He also decorated the staircase of the Boston Public Library (1895 – 96). He was known as "the painter for France" and  Émile Zola described his work as "an art made of reason, passion, and will". His classically-inspired, allegorical themes resonate with the public to this day.

Women by the Sea, 1879

Van Gogh, Gaugin, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Picasso all recognized de Chavannes as a visionary, making him an important influence on modernism. He was one of a very few artists of any period who foresaw change and embraced it by not only supporting the avant-garde artists who were to be the future of art, but also by teaching and learning from them.

The Poor Fisherman, 1881, Musée d'Orsay

The tranquil themes of de Chavannes's works served to soothe a French public that was recovering from the Franco-Prussian War and the Commune of 1871-1872.

Fantasy (1866), Ohara Museum of Art

Death and the Maidens, 1872, Clark Art Institute

Puvis's work overlapped with Post-Impressionism, Impressionism, and Symbolism.

The River, 1865, Metropolitan Museum of Art

Allegory of Charity, 1887, Musée d'Orsay

Between Art and Nature, c. 1890–95, Metropolitan Museum of Art
