"The Sacred Wood, allegorical mural in the Grand Amphitheatre, central detail of the Sorbonne, Eloquence, Poetry, the Life-Giving Source and Science, 1887-89" is a remarkable work by notable French artist Pierre-Cécilevis de Chavannes. Created over a period of two years from 1887 to 1889, this masterful mural adorns the Grand Amphitheatre of the Sorbonne, one of the most prestigious public research universities in Paris, France.

The mural visualizes a collection of allegorical figures that personify eloquence, poetry, a life-giving source, and science, artistically personifying intellectual and cultural pursuits embodied by the Sorbonne. The central piece of this grand mural, The Sacred Wood, is a representation of an ancient grove that is traditionally considered inviolable and that serves as a sanctuary for divine entities. It illustrates Puvis de Chavannes' passion for blending spiritual and natural elements, thus creating a central image that forms a cohesive narrative together with the accompanying figures.

Puvis de Chavannes' distinctive style of using muted color palettes and simplified forms is exemplary in this mural. This style, which is akin to fresco, creates an impression of the mural being an intrinsic part of the architecture rather than a mere addition. His symbolic use of imagery coupled with this distinctive style led to his widespread acclaim and his influence on several younger artists, including the symbolists and the surrealists. To date, this mural remains one of the defining works of Pierre-Cécile Puvis de Chavannes, encapsulating both his artistic style and vision.
