But interestingly, both of these were more directly influenced by other pieces of art than nature itself. "La mer" is to a great degree based on impressions by paintings of Turner and especially Katsushika Hokusai's painting "The Great Wave off Kanagawa".
And L'Après-midi d'un faune is based on Mallarmés poem with the same title.
