De Chavannes was very influential and was known at one point as "the Painter of France."
This is French Olympians from 1897.  Expand for detail.

  1. Another lovely male nude grouping. I assume this was done as four sketches.I may be wrong , but I think both couples are the same two? In fact are there just two models in this picture? Anyway...very inspiring.

    1. I find it interesting that two of the men seem to be emotionally separate from the group with arms folded even though they're there with the others. I've been in group situations like that, and De Chavannes captured the feeling here.
