Hesiod and the Muse 

"Hesiod and the Muse" is a ceiling painting by Eugène Delacroix, currently displayed in the Palais Bourbon in Paris. The painting depicts the Greek poet Hesiod receiving inspiration from a muse. The dynamic composition features the muse soaring through the air, reaching out to Hesiod, who sits with a staff in his hand, possibly alluding to the pastoral setting of Hesiod's poems. Delacroix's signature Romantic style is evident in the dramatic use of light and shadow, the vibrant colors, and the overall sense of movement in the scene.
