"Le Groupe d'Hésiode: Étude pour le Plafond de l'Opéra" is a notable work by the French painter Paul Baudry (1828–1886), created as part of his commission for the grand decoration of the Palais Garnier, the Paris Opera House. This particular piece is a study for one of the ceiling paintings that adorn the lavish auditorium of the opera house, which was designed by the architect Charles Garnier and inaugurated in 1875.

Paul Baudry, renowned for his academic painting style, was entrusted with the task of decorating the ceiling with themes celebrating music and the arts. "Le Groupe d'Hésiode" reflects Baudry's meticulous approach to composition and his classical training, which is evident in the harmonious arrangement of figures and the use of mythological subjects to embody the ideals of art and poetry.

The work is part of a series of preparatory studies and final paintings that illustrate various poetic and musical themes. In this context, Hesiod, the ancient Greek poet, represents the literary and didactic tradition, his presence in the ceiling's iconography underscoring the importance of storytelling and moral instruction in the arts. Baudry's study likely served as a blueprint for the larger, more elaborate fresco that was ultimately executed on the ceiling.

As a study, "Le Groupe d'Hésiode" offers insight into Baudry's creative process, showcasing his skill in rendering figures and his ability to translate complex thematic ideas into visual form. The work is an example of the Beaux-Arts style that dominated French art and architecture during the Second Empire and into the Third Republic, characterized by its classical references, technical precision, and grandeur.

Today, the ceiling paintings of the Palais Garnier stand as a testament to the opulence of the era and to Baudry's significant contribution to the decorative arts. "Le Groupe d'Hésiode" remains an important piece of the larger puzzle that composes the visual splendor of one of the most famous opera houses in the world.
