"Calliope" is an oil painting by the French artist Charles Meynier (1763–1832), created in 1798. The artwork is a personification of Calliope, the muse of epic poetry and eloquence in Greek mythology, often depicted holding a writing tablet and stylus. In this neoclassical representation, Meynier portrays Calliope in a serene pose, embodying the grace and dignity befitting the chief of the muses. The painting reflects the neoclassical style's emphasis on clarity, order, and symmetry, which was prevalent in the arts during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, particularly in France.

Meynier's "Calliope" is notable for its harmonious composition and the use of light to accentuate the figure's divine nature. The muse is typically shown with a laurel crown, symbolizing her connection to Apollo, the god of the arts, and her role as a source of inspiration to poets and musicians. The painting is part of a series of works by Meynier that depict various mythological subjects, showcasing his skill in rendering idealized human figures and his contribution to the neoclassical movement.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of the collection at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, Ohio, where it is displayed to the public. "Calliope" has been studied in the context of neoclassical art and is recognized for its aesthetic qualities and as an example of Meynier's artistic legacy. The work contributes to the understanding of neoclassical ideals and the cultural milieu of post-revolutionary France, where artists sought to revive the classical spirit through their creations.
