      PUVIS DE CHAVANNES

      (1824–1898)

      PLATE I.—SAINT GENEVIEVE KEEPING WATCH OVER SLEEPING PARIS. Frontispiece

      (In the Panthéon, Paris)

      This composition, so great in its simplicity and so beautiful in execution, is the last work of the great artist. The model who posed for the saint watching over the city was Puvis de Chavannes' own wife. Both he and she died very shortly after its completion.

      Puvis de Chavannes for a long time fared scarcely better than these illustrious mendicants of art. He experienced the bitter pangs of injustice, the hostility of ignorance, the discouragement of finding himself misunderstood. If he was spared the extreme distress of Millet, it was solely because he was the more fortunate of the two in possessing a small
