Dead poet borne by centaur 1890

"Dead poet borne by centaur" (1890) is a watercolor painting by French symbolist artist Gustave Moreau. The work depicts a dying poet, draped in a green cloth, being carried by a centaur. The ethereal, dreamlike atmosphere and symbolic imagery are characteristic of Moreau's style. The painting's subject matter likely references the classical myth of Chiron, the centaur who was known for his wisdom and healing abilities. The work is currently on display at the Musée National Gustave Moreau in Paris.
