"Art & Literature" (1867) is an oil on canvas painting by the French academic artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau. Known for his classical themes and technically brilliant execution, Bouguereau was a dominant figure in French academic art during the second half of the 19th century. This painting is an allegorical work that reflects Bouguereau's interest in idealized subject matter and his ability to convey narrative through classical iconography.

The painting depicts a serene and idealized gathering of figures from classical mythology and allegorical personifications, representing the harmonious relationship between the arts and literature. Central to the composition is a female figure, possibly representing the muse of poetry, who is surrounded by other figures in various states of repose and engagement, including those who may represent the different arts such as music, painting, and sculpture. The figures are arranged in a balanced and idealized landscape that underscores the classical and timeless nature of the subject.

"Art & Literature" exemplifies Bouguereau's skill in composition, his smooth painting technique, and his ability to render the human form with lifelike precision and grace. The painting is a testament to the enduring appeal of classical themes in the 19th century and Bouguereau's mastery of academic painting conventions. It is a significant work within Bouguereau's oeuvre, showcasing his dedication to beauty, harmony, and the elevation of the human spirit through the arts.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of a private collection or displayed in a museum that specializes in 19th-century European art.
