"Apollo and the Muses" is a mural created by the prominent American expatriate artist John Singer Sargent (1856–1925). This work is part of Sargent's larger commission for the Boston Public Library, which he undertook from the 1890s into the early 20th century. The mural is a depiction of the Greek god Apollo, the deity of music, poetry, and the arts, surrounded by the nine Muses, who in classical mythology are the inspirational goddesses of literature, science, and the arts.

Sargent's "Apollo and the Muses" is a testament to his skill in the Beaux-Arts style and his ability to integrate classical themes with the grandeur suitable for a public space. The mural is located in the library's McKim Building, where it contributes to an ensemble of artworks by various artists, all designed to celebrate the world of knowledge and the humanities.

The composition of the mural showcases Apollo in a central position, playing a lyre, which is emblematic of his role as the patron of music and poetry. The Muses are arranged around him, each identifiable by her traditional attributes, representing different artistic and scientific disciplines. The artwork is rendered with Sargent's characteristic attention to detail, use of vibrant colors, and dynamic brushwork, which bring the mythological scene to life.

As part of the Boston Public Library's art collection, "Apollo and the Muses" is not only an important piece of Sargent's body of work but also a significant contribution to the cultural and artistic heritage of Boston. The mural reflects the era's intellectual aspirations and the belief in the civilizing power of the arts, which was a common theme in the public buildings of the period.

John Singer Sargent's "Apollo and the Muses" remains an enduring piece of American art history and continues to be admired for its artistic excellence and its embodiment of the neoclassical tradition within the context of American mural painting.
