"The Childhood of St. Genevieve" is a mural painting by the French artist Pierre-Cécile Puvis de Chavannes, created in the late 19th century. Puvis de Chavannes, known for his mural painting that harmonized with the architecture of the spaces they adorned, was a significant figure in the symbolist movement and influenced many modernist artists.

This particular work is part of a series of murals painted for the Panthéon in Paris, which depict the life of St. Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris. "The Childhood of St. Genevieve" illustrates the early life of the saint, emphasizing themes of piety and devotion that characterized her legend. In the mural, the young Genevieve is shown as a shepherdess, a nod to her humble origins, and is often depicted with a supernatural light or aura, signifying her future sainthood.

Puvis de Chavannes' style in this work is characterized by a muted color palette, serene compositions, and a sense of timeless, idealized figures that reflect the artist's interest in antiquity and his desire to transcend the specifics of time and place. His approach to painting, which sought to evoke an emotional response through symbolic and allegorical content, is evident in this mural.

"The Childhood of St. Genevieve" is considered an important example of Puvis de Chavannes' contribution to public art and the revival of mural painting in the 19th century. It showcases his ability to blend classical and modern elements, creating works that are both accessible to the general public and appreciated by the art connoisseurs of his time.

As a significant piece within the oeuvre of Puvis de Chavannes, "The Childhood of St. Genevieve" continues to be studied for its artistic and historical value, representing a key moment in the development of French mural painting and the symbolist movement at the end of the 19th century.
