	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pierre Puvis de Chavannes
		Through his father Puvis was Burgundian — "Burgundian salt", says the proverb, that is the strongest French race, which produced such men as Bossuet, Buffon, and Lamartine.
		In the midst of the materialistic invasion of the second half of the nineteenth century Puvis (with Eugène Carrière) was the noblest champion of religious art in France.
		After the death of Meissonier (1894), Puvis was elected by acclamation to the presidency of the National Society of French Artists.

		That Puvis worried about the grove of trees at the center of his composition is readily demonstrated by the fl chalk modifications still very visible, where he experimented with extending and lengthening the tree trunks and painting them in various colors.
		Puvis must have been pleased with the dimensions of this oil sketch for he made his late version of the composition of similar size (New York, Metropolitan Museum of Art).
		Landscape played an increasingly important part in Puvis de Chavannes's paintings, as he came to construct compositions in which all the pictorial components were carefully considered as shapes on the pictorial surface.

		Although these remote fictions of a timeless Garden of Eden were common to the repertory of academic artists, Puvis recreated them with a strongly personal flavor that, oddly enough, was acceptable to both the establishment and to many of the young artistic rebels of later decades.
		It is no surprise that echoes of Puvis's Arcadia can be found in the works of Seurat and Gauguin and their disciples, whether in their visions of harmonious societies on the banks of the Seine or in the fields of Britanny and the jungles of Tahiti.

	Pierre Puvis de Chavannes Summary
		Pierre Puvis de Chavannes (1824-1898) occupied a unique position in 19th-century French painting: he was one of the few academic painters whose work was deeply admired by the avant-garde artists of his day.
		Born in Lyons on Dec. 14, 1824, Pierre Puvis de Chavannes belonged to the generation of Gustave Courbet and Édouard Manet, and he was fully aware of their revolutionary achievements.
		Although Puvis claimed he was neither radical nor revolutionary, he was admired by the symbolist poets, writers, and painters--including Paul Gauguin and Maurice Denis--and he influenced the neoimpressionist painter Georges Seurat.

	Pierre Puvis de Chavannes - Le Recueillement (Meditation)
		Vignon championed Puvis de Chavannes in her critiques of the 1861 and 1863 Salons, while rebuking the general state and judgment of the Academy.
		Vignon remarked “Puvis de Chavannes’s large murals are the event of the Salon...One wants to see them as the revival of monumental art.” Indeed they were -- speaking in easily readable figures and themes to not only the French public, but also deeply impacting younger artists’ visions.
		Puvis, in the Vignon group, managed to express pictorially the great consequence he conferred on the cerebral and theoretical in the development of a work of art.

	PIERRE PUVIS DE CHAVANNES - Biography
		The work of Pierre Puvis de Chavannes (1824-1898) was often exhibited and hugely admired during the nineteenth century.
		These idyllic and melancholic works were much admired for their strength of invention, radical simplicity, gamut of new, opaque and whitened colors with scumbled textures, and the rhythmic dispositions of figures and landscape elements.
		How Puvis arrived at the simplifications and flattened images of his mature style has much to do with the peculiar circumstances of developing both monumental murals, for which he formulated a special mural aesthetic, and bringing elements of that aesthetic to his independent paintings.

	Biografia de Pierre Puvis de Chavannes
		Comenzó realizando pequeños encargos a cambio de sumas modestas y acabó por convertirse en un pintor de enorme prestigio, al que se le encomendaron las principales decoraciones murales de su tiempo, por ejemplo para La Sorbona, el Panteón y el Ayuntamiento de París.
		Sus obras para estas instituciones son lienzos de grandes dimensiones que intentan imitar el efecto del fresco a través de un cromatismo diáfano e irreal.
		Aunque sus representaciones alegóricas e idealizadas no gozan de excesiva aceptación en la actualidad, sus formas simplificadas y su falta de profundidad espacial ejercieron una gran influencia en los postimpresionistas y en los simbolistas, de quienes se considera un precursor.
