Saint Genevieve Keeping Watch over Sleeping Paris by Pierre Puvis de Chavannes (1824-98), one of the mural paintings of the Pantheon in 1898, is known to be his masterpiece. This oeuvre has been interpreted in various ways, but the relationship between this and his other paintings in the Pantheon is often ignored. So, it is necessary to analyze it in relation to other murals, especially his triptych, Saint Genevieve Provisioning Paris, which is to its left. This thesis focuses on the point that Puvis constructed not only the connection but also the contrast between the triptych and Saint Genevieve Keeping Watch over Sleeping Paris. In the former, he aimed to express the movement of a crowd and explicitly presented the story of the saint, who saved Paris, which was under siege by the Franks, from starvation. By comparison with it, in the latter, he made a calm, tranquil composition, deleting the motives for explaining the war or the famine. This paper reveals the source and the process of making this contrast, and shows that in it he can represent the saint's two different aspects.
