Chavannes, Pierre Puvis de (1824-1898) - Hope 1872

Pierre Puvis de Chavannes' "Hope," painted around 1871-1872, is an allegorical work created in response to the Franco-Prussian War, depicting a young woman offering an oak sprig as a symbol of national recovery amidst a devastated landscape with makeshift cemeteries. The painting exists in two versions: a smaller, nude study at the Musée d'Orsay and a larger, draped version exhibited at the 1872 Paris Salon, now housed at The Walters Art Museum.
