"Hesiod and the Muse" (French: "Hesiode et la Muse") is a renowned oil painting by the French Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix, completed around 1831. The artwork depicts the ancient Greek poet Hesiod, who is traditionally considered the author of the "Theogony" and "Works and Days," being inspired by a Muse. Muses in Greek mythology are the goddesses of the inspiration of literature, science, and the arts, and they were considered the source of the knowledge embodied in poetry, lyric songs, and myths.

The painting is a reflection of Delacroix's fascination with literary themes and his interest in the expressive power of color and movement, which are hallmarks of his style. In "Hesiod and the Muse," Delacroix captures a moment of divine inspiration, with the Muse often interpreted as a symbol of the artist's own creative muse or the Romantic ideal of the artist as a conduit for higher truths.

Delacroix's use of vibrant colors and dynamic composition in this work exemplifies the Romantic spirit of the time, which emphasized emotion and individualism over the neoclassical emphasis on order and restraint. The painting is noted for its dramatic portrayal of the figures and the atmospheric landscape that surrounds them, which serves to enhance the sense of a sublime encounter between the mortal poet and the immortal goddess.

"Hesiod and the Muse" is part of Delacroix's broader oeuvre, which includes other literary and historical subjects, and it contributes to our understanding of the artist's engagement with the intellectual currents of his time. The painting is held in a public collection, allowing viewers to appreciate Delacroix's contribution to the Romantic movement and his enduring influence on the development of modern art.
