Focus on this artwork and analyze the Influence.
The style of The Sacred Grove, Beloved of the Arts and Muses had influence on post impressionists at the time as well as other artists in the future. Aspects of Pierre Puvis de Chavannes’ style can be found in paintings by Cézanne, Seurat, Gauguin, Matisse and Picasso, whose works used Puvis’ technique of restrained poses and minimal landscape space. Due to Puvis’ prominence at the end of the 19th century, his paintings, especially The Sacred Grove, played a major role in shaping the painting's of the first generation of western style Japanese artists. Puvis framed by the figures and landscape of The Sacred Grove also feature as the subjects of two portraits, one by Marcellin Desboutin and the other by Georges Jean.
