Poem of the Soul - The nightmare is a 1854 oil by Louis Janmot, held at Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon.
This painting depicts a dramatic scene with three women in a stone building. The woman on the left, dressed in dark attire, carries a pale, unconscious woman in white. The woman on the right, wearing a pink dress, appears to be in distress, with her hands raised and her mouth open. In the background, several arched windows are visible, with faces peering out from some of them. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of tension and drama, with strong contrasts between light and dark. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate stone carvings and the expressive faces of the women. The painting is held at the Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon.
