Works by Pierre Puvis de Chavannes (1824-1898), in the public domain: paintings, painted sketches and a few finished drawings published online by the museums that hold them, each linked to its museum record. The photographs come from the museum itself when it publishes them under an open licence, otherwise from Wikimedia Commons, in the public domain or under a Creative Commons licence with the photographer's name. Only works that the museum attributes to Puvis de Chavannes himself are included, without 'workshop of', 'follower of', 'after' or 'attributed to'. Murals painted on site (Pantheon, Sorbonne, City Hall, libraries) are not shown here, except where a museum holds the canvas or its sketch.
