"St. Genevieve as a Child at Prayer, 1879" is a notable painting by the French artist Pierre-Cécile Puvis de Chavannes, who is often associated with the Symbolist movement. The artwork depicts a young St. Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris, immersed in prayer. Created in 1879, the painting is a testament to Puvis de Chavannes' interest in themes of piety, innocence, and historical narrative.

The painting showcases St. Genevieve, who, according to legend, played a crucial role in saving Paris from Attila the Hun's invasion through her devout prayers and firm faith. In Puvis de Chavannes' representation, the young saint is portrayed with an aura of serene devotion, possibly reflecting the moment of her divine inspiration or spiritual awakening. The artist's use of soft, muted colors and a harmonious composition imbues the work with a sense of tranquility and spiritual depth.

Puvis de Chavannes was renowned for his mural paintings and his ability to convey allegorical and historical subjects with a sense of universality and timelessness. "St. Genevieve as a Child at Prayer" is consistent with his broader oeuvre, which often focused on evoking an emotional and contemplative response from the viewer.

This painting is a part of Puvis de Chavannes' larger body of work that contributed to his reputation as a leading figure in French painting towards the end of the 19th century. His influence extended to many other artists, including the Nabis and the Symbolists, who were drawn to his ethereal and idealized approach to subject matter. "St. Genevieve as a Child at Prayer" remains an important work for understanding the artist's legacy and the broader context of French art during this period.
