"Le Songe d'Ossian" (The Dream of Ossian) is a notable painting by the French artist Anne-Louis Girodet de Roucy-Triosson, completed in 1811. This work is a quintessential example of the Romanticism movement in early 19th-century French art, characterized by its emphasis on emotion, individualism, and the glorification of the past and nature. Girodet, a student of the renowned painter Jacques-Louis David, diverged from his mentor's Neoclassical style to explore more imaginative and emotive themes, as exemplified in this painting.

The painting depicts a scene inspired by the Ossianic poems, a series of epic poems published by the Scottish poet James Macpherson in the 1760s, which he claimed were translations of ancient works by the bard Ossian. These poems, though later revealed to be largely Macpherson's own creations, captivated the European imagination and became a significant influence on the Romantic movement. In "Le Songe d'Ossian," Girodet portrays the legendary bard Ossian in a dreamlike state, surrounded by ethereal figures and spirits of warriors, evoking a sense of mysticism and otherworldliness.

Girodet's use of light and shadow, along with his meticulous attention to detail, creates a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere that draws the viewer into Ossian's visionary world. The composition is marked by its dynamic arrangement and the fluidity of the figures, which seem to float in a celestial space, enhancing the dreamlike quality of the scene. The painting was commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte for the Emperor's bedroom in the Château de Malmaison, reflecting the period's fascination with Ossianic themes and the broader Romantic interest in medieval and mythical subjects.

"Le Songe d'Ossian" stands as a testament to Girodet's artistic innovation and his ability to convey complex emotional and imaginative narratives through his work. It remains an important piece in the study of Romantic art and continues to be celebrated for its artistic and historical significance.
