Book Synopsis
Understanding Puvis de Chavannes (1824-1898) is crucial to reading the history of art of the late nineteenth century and the development of modernism. Often associated with classicizing imagery, he was an artist of great range. This book introduces many of his works, assesses his contribution, and restores him to the pantheon of modern masters.

Trade Review

“. . . luxurious and profusely illustrated. . . . Brown Price’s catalogue raisonne will be. . . frequently consulted in decades to come.”

--Chris Riopelle, The Art Newspaper

-- Chris Riopelle * The Art Newspaper *
“A splendid production, amply supplied with plates in both color and black and white, featuring particularly fine new photography of the architecturally-installed murals, which earned him his greatest renown. Never have students of art and history had the opportunity to so fully explore the complexities of this most singular of painters. Without a doubt the book will remain a landmark in the essential scholarship of the period.” —19th Century Art Worldwide * 19th Century Art Worldwide *
