"Apollo and the Muses I" is a notable fresco by the American expatriate artist John Singer Sargent (1856–1925). This work is part of a larger series of murals created by Sargent for the Boston Public Library's McKim Building, which he worked on intermittently from 1890 to 1919. The series, collectively known as "The Triumph of Religion," was intended to depict the development of religion and its relationship with the pagan world and the arts.

"Apollo and the Muses I" specifically illustrates the Greek god Apollo, traditionally associated with the sun, music, poetry, and the arts, surrounded by the Muses, the goddesses of the arts and sciences in Greek mythology. Each Muse is typically representative of a different artistic or scholarly discipline, and their presence alongside Apollo underscores the connection between divine inspiration and human creativity.

Sargent's fresco is characterized by its grand scale and the harmonious blend of classical and Renaissance influences, which were typical of his mural works. The composition is rich in allegorical meaning, with Apollo often serving as a symbol of enlightenment and the Muses embodying the various facets of cultural and intellectual pursuits.

The fresco is a testament to Sargent's mastery of large-scale compositions and his ability to integrate his work within the architectural environment of the library. "Apollo and the Muses I" not only serves as an aesthetic focal point but also as an embodiment of the library's mission to be a temple of knowledge and culture.

As with many of Sargent's murals, the fresco has been the subject of scholarly study and public admiration, contributing to the understanding of Sargent's work beyond his more famous portraiture. It remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Sargent's decorative projects and is a significant cultural asset within the Boston Public Library's art collection.
