"The Inspiration of the Poet" (French: L'Inspiration du poète) is a celebrated painting by the French artist Nicolas Poussin, created circa 1630. This Baroque masterpiece is often hailed as an exemplar of Poussin's classical style, which was heavily influenced by the art and literature of ancient Rome and the Renaissance. The painting is believed to be an allegory of poetic inspiration, showcasing the power of the arts and the divine influence on creativity.

In the artwork, Poussin depicts a poet—possibly representing Virgil or a generic figure of a poet—seated beneath a laurel tree, a symbol of poetic achievement and honor. The poet is accompanied by an ethereal female figure, often interpreted as the Muse of poetry, Calliope, or as Apollo, the god of the arts, who is traditionally associated with the Muses. This celestial being is shown guiding the hand of the poet, suggesting the divine origin of his inspiration. Another figure, possibly a personification of Fame or Glory, holds a laurel crown above the poet's head, further emphasizing the theme of poetic exaltation.

The composition is characterized by its serene and harmonious qualities, with a balanced arrangement of figures and a tranquil landscape that reflects Poussin's orderly approach to painting. The use of light and shadow, as well as the careful attention to the drapery and anatomy of the figures, demonstrates Poussin's mastery of technique and his dedication to the ideals of classical art.

"The Inspiration of the Poet" is part of the collection at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. The painting not only represents Poussin's own ideals and aspirations as an artist but also serves as a timeless reflection on the nature of artistic creation and the eternal quest for inspiration.
