"Anacreon receiving a Silver Vase from two standing Figures, with a study of a stele: An Illustration to Anacreon's Ode XVII" is a notable artwork by the French painter Anne-Louis Girodet de Roucy-Triosson, commonly known as Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson (1767–1824). Girodet was a student of the famed neoclassical painter Jacques-Louis David and is recognized for his synthesis of neoclassical and romantic artistic elements. This particular work is an illustration of the 17th Ode of Anacreon, an ancient Greek lyric poet known for his verses dedicated to love and wine.

The painting depicts the ancient poet Anacreon receiving a gift of a silver vase from two figures, likely representing admirers or muses, in a scene that exudes the elegance and refinement characteristic of Anacreon's poetry. The inclusion of a study of a stele, or grave marker, in the composition adds a layer of depth to the illustration, potentially alluding to the themes of memory and legacy that are often present in discussions of poets and their work.

Girodet's illustration is a testament to his ability to convey complex emotional narratives and his skill in blending classical subject matter with a romantic sensibility. The artwork is a reflection of the cultural revival of interest in classical antiquity during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, which was a hallmark of the neoclassical movement. Girodet's work often explored the tension between the idealized forms of classical art and the more expressive and emotive approach of romanticism, making his illustrations, such as the one for Anacreon's Ode XVII, significant contributions to the art historical canon.

The painting is an example of Girodet's engagement with literary themes and showcases his proficiency in creating visual representations of poetic texts, a skill that garnered him considerable acclaim during his career. As a historical artifact, the illustration not only serves as a visual complement to Anacreon's poetry but also provides insight into the artistic and cultural milieu of post-revolutionary France.
