Poem of the Soul - One evening is a 1854 oil by Louis Janmot, a Symbolism work, held at Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon.
The painting "Poem of the Soul" by Louis Janmot depicts two women sitting on a rocky outcrop, surrounded by trees and bushes. The woman on the left wears a white dress, while the one on the right is dressed in brown. Both have their hair down, and the woman on the left has a veil over her head. The background features a blue sky with clouds and a full moon. The women are shown in a serene and peaceful atmosphere, with the rocky outcrop and trees creating a sense of depth and texture. The use of oil paint adds a sense of richness and vibrancy to the colors. The painting's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth, adds to its emotional impact.
