Post lot text

PIERRE PUVIS DE CHAVANNES, STUDY FOR THE CHILDHOOD OF SAINT GENEVIEVE, BLACK AND RED CHALK ON TRACING PAPER, SQUARED IN RED CHALK

In 1874, Philippe de Chennevières, director of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris from 1874 to 1878, commissioned Abbé Bonnefoy, dean of the church of Sainte-Geneviève, to create a large iconographic cycle on the national and religious history of France. The figures of Saint Geneviève, Joan of Arc, Saint Denis, as well as Charlemagne and Saint Louis were chosen. In order to carry out the project, Chennevières commissioned some forty oil paintings to be hung in front of the old blocked windows in Jacques-Germain Soufflot’s building, better known as the Panthéon. Among the artists selected were Jean-François Millet, Alexandre Cabanel, Paul Baudry, Léon Bonnat, Jean-Léon Gérôme, Henri Lehmann, Gustave Moreau and Pierre Puvis de Chavannes. The latter created a cycle on the life of Saint Genevieve (1874-1877), of which the calque presented here is a study for the right panel of the Infancy of Saint Genevieve (A. Brown Price, Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, II, A Catalogue Raisonné of the Painted Work, New Haven and London, 2010, pp. 195-209).
