Symbolism - An art movement which rejected the purely visual realism of the Impressionists, and the rationality of
the Industrial Age, in order to depict the symbols of ideas. Influenced by Romanticism and the Pre-Raphaelite Broth-
erhood, it thrived in France in the late nineteenth century, its influence spreading throughout much of Europe. Rather
than the precise equivalents of ideas or emotions, its symbols were meant to be more mysterious, ambiguous sug-
gestions of meanings.

Works from Pierre Puvis de Chavannes

I like in his second piece “Sweet Country” the images
of the people just laid back symbolizing the serenity or
sweetness of the land they are enjoying.
