"Le Poème de l'âme" (The Poem of the Soul) is a series of 18 paintings accompanied by verses and texts created by the French artist Anne-François-Louis Janmot (1814–1892). Among this series, "Sursum Corda" is one of the notable works, which translates to "Lift Up Your Hearts" from Latin. Janmot, who was deeply influenced by his Catholic faith and the Romantic movement, embarked on this ambitious project to explore the journey of the soul from birth to death and beyond, reflecting on themes of innocence, love, passion, despair, and redemption.

The series begins with the innocence of childhood and traces the soul's encounters with the material world, its inner conflicts, and its ultimate aspiration towards divine love. "Sursum Corda" specifically captures a moment of spiritual elevation and longing for the divine, emblematic of Janmot's mystical and philosophical preoccupations. The painting likely portrays the soul's ascent, an invitation to elevate one's heart towards spiritual heights, resonating with the Romantic era's fascination with the transcendent and the ineffable.

Janmot's work is characterized by its detailed symbolism, rich color palette, and the integration of poetry and visual art to express complex spiritual narratives. "Le Poème de l'âme" as a whole is considered a unique artistic endeavor that reflects Janmot's personal vision and the broader 19th-century context of religious and philosophical inquiry. The series was first exhibited in Lyon in 1855 and later at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1867, where it received mixed reviews due to its unconventional approach to religious art.

Today, "Le Poème de l'âme" is housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, where it continues to be an object of study for its theological implications, its place within the Romantic tradition, and its contribution to French art history. "Sursum Corda," as part of this series, remains a testament to Janmot's artistic legacy and his pursuit of depicting the spiritual odyssey of the human soul through the medium of painting.
