Luigi Cherubini and the Muse of Lyric Poetry is an oil painting by the French Neoclassical artist Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, completed in 1842. The painting is a portrait of the Italian composer Luigi Cherubini (1760–1842), accompanied by an allegorical representation of the Muse of Lyric Poetry. It is one of Ingres's most celebrated portraits, showcasing his mastery of form and his ability to imbue his subjects with psychological depth.

In the painting, Cherubini is depicted in his later years, with a solemn and contemplative expression. He is shown seated, holding a sheet of music, while the muse, a serene and idealized female figure, stands beside him, holding a lyre—a traditional attribute of Apollo and the muses associated with music and poetry. The composition reflects Ingres's fascination with the ideals of classical art and his commitment to portraying his subjects with both dignity and emotional resonance.

The work was commissioned by the State as a tribute to Cherubini, who was highly regarded as a composer of both secular and religious music. His contributions to the development of opera and his influence on later composers, including Beethoven, were significant. Ingres, who was also an accomplished violinist, admired Cherubini and expressed his reverence for the composer through the meticulous execution of the portrait.

Luigi Cherubini and the Muse of Lyric Poetry is notable for its synthesis of portraiture and allegory, as well as its reflection of Ingres's neoclassical style, characterized by clear outlines, smooth surfaces, and a polished finish. The painting is held in high esteem both as a work of art and as a historical document of the cultural achievements of the period.

Today, the painting is part of the collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be studied and admired for its technical excellence and its evocative portrayal of one of the era's most respected musical figures.
