"Santa Genoveffa" (Saint Geneviève) is a renowned fresco by the French painter Pierre-Cécile Puvis de Chavannes, completed in 1874. The work is one of a series of murals created by the artist for the Panthéon in Paris, which was then a church dedicated to the patron saint of the city, Saint Geneviève. Puvis de Chavannes, known for his mural painting that harmonized with the architecture of the buildings for which they were designed, was a leading figure in French art during the second half of the 19th century and played a significant role in the development of mural painting.

The "Santa Genoveffa" fresco is a prime example of Puvis de Chavannes' symbolic and idealistic style, which often featured serene figures and a muted color palette. The work depicts the young Saint Geneviève, the patroness of Paris, as a shepherdess watching over her flock, symbolizing her role as the protector of the city. The fresco is imbued with a sense of calm and spiritual serenity, characteristic of Puvis de Chavannes' approach to art, which sought to provide a respite from the industrialization and turmoil of the era.

The mural's composition, with its clear organization and tranquil landscape, reflects the artist's intent to create an image that would inspire contemplation and reverence. "Santa Genoveffa" is celebrated for its embodiment of the values of purity and devotion, and it stands as a testament to Puvis de Chavannes' mastery of large-scale mural painting and his contribution to the symbolism movement in art.

Puvis de Chavannes' work on the Panthéon murals, including "Santa Genoveffa," was part of a broader effort to decorate the interior of the monument with scenes from the life of Saint Geneviève and the history of Christianity in France. These murals have been praised for their poetic interpretation of historical and religious themes and are considered some of the artist's most significant contributions to French art.
