Le Poème de l'âme - Le Grain de blé (The Poem of the Soul - The Grain of Wheat) is a notable work by the French painter and poet Anne-François-Louis Janmot, who was active during the 19th century. Janmot, born in 1814 in Lyon, France, is renowned for his deeply spiritual and symbolist approach to art, which often explored themes of the soul, morality, and the metaphysical. "Le Grain de blé" is part of his larger series titled "Le Poème de l'âme," which translates to "The Poem of the Soul." This series is a comprehensive cycle of 18 paintings and 16 drawings, accompanied by a poetic text written by Janmot himself.

"Le Poème de l'âme" is considered Janmot's magnum opus, reflecting his devout Catholic faith and his philosophical contemplations on the journey of the soul through life, death, and beyond. Each piece in the series is imbued with rich symbolism and allegory, portraying various stages of the soul's journey and its encounters with divine and earthly elements. "Le Grain de blé" specifically delves into the theme of sacrifice and resurrection, drawing on the biblical metaphor of the grain of wheat that must die to bring forth new life, as mentioned in the Gospel of John (12:24).

Janmot's meticulous attention to detail, use of vibrant yet ethereal colors, and his ability to convey profound spiritual narratives through his art have earned "Le Poème de l'âme" a revered place in the canon of 19th-century French art. The series, including "Le Grain de blé," is housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and theological depth. Janmot's work remains a significant example of the intersection between art and spirituality, offering a window into the 19th-century French religious and artistic psyche.
