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.
