ABOUT THIS PIECE Pierre Puvis de Chavannes' Sleep was created in 1867 and the painting is in Metropolitan Museum of Art New York. The original size of the work is 66,4 x 106 cm and is made of oil on canvas. The Artist associated the composition with a fragment from the Aeneid by the ancient Roman poet Virgil: "It was the hour when the first rest of weary mortals begins" (book 2, line 268). The text refers to a brief (and illusory) respite from war, but Puvis portrays untroubled repose after harvesting. By depicting sleepers of all ages, ranging from an old man to a mother cradling her baby, the artist creates an image of communal rest and protection. The Artist: Pierre Puvis de Chavannes (1824 – 1898) was a French painter known for his mural painting, who came to be known as 'the painter for France'. He studied first under Eugène Delacroix. He became the co-founder and president of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, and his work influenced many other artists, notably Robert Genin.
