"A Dead Poet Being Carried by a Centaur" is a painting by the French Symbolist artist Gustave Moreau, created in the late 19th century. This work is emblematic of Moreau's fascination with mythological subjects and his unique approach to symbolism, which often involved a complex and personal iconography. The painting depicts the somber scene of a centaur, a mythological creature with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse, carrying the lifeless body of a poet.

The composition is rich in allegorical meaning, reflecting Moreau's interest in the transcendental and the mystical aspects of human experience. The centaur, often associated with dual nature and animalistic impulses, contrasts with the purity and intellectualism represented by the poet. This juxtaposition can be interpreted as a commentary on the struggle between the base and noble aspects of human existence, or as an exploration of the artist's role in bridging the earthly and the divine.

Moreau's technique is characterized by his intricate line work and the jewel-like quality of his colors, which contribute to the dreamlike atmosphere of the painting. The use of light and shadow, along with the detailed rendering of textures and patterns, underscores the otherworldly quality of the scene.

"A Dead Poet Being Carried by a Centaur" is part of Moreau's broader oeuvre, which often delved into themes of death, beauty, and the esoteric. His work was influential in shaping the Symbolist movement and continues to be studied for its rich symbolic content and its impact on the development of modern art. The painting is housed in a collection that showcases Moreau's significant contributions to 19th-century French art and is considered an important piece for understanding the artist's legacy and the Symbolist movement as a whole.
