Puvis was the leading French mural painter of the later 19th century. He was much admired by a diverse group of critics and artists, including Paul Gauguin, Georges Seurat, Théophile Gautier and Charles Baudelaire. He developed a style characterized by frescolike, flat, pale coloring, rhythmic lines and simplified forms, idealized themes and allegorical pieces and from antiquity. He’s remembered for the other important Paris murals he did in the Hôtel de Ville and the Sorbonne. His art was and still is great demand all over the world.
