Poem of the Soul - Ideal is a 1854 oil by Louis Janmot, a Symbolism work, held at Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon.
This painting depicts a serene scene of a woman and a child floating above a rocky landscape. The woman, dressed in a flowing white gown, gently reaches out to the child, who is clad in a brown robe. The sky above them is a soft blue, dotted with clouds. In the foreground, the rocky terrain stretches out, with the figures suspended above it. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of peace and tranquility. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects and figures, explore the works of Louis Janmot.
