"Homer and His Guide" is an 1874 painting by the French academic artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau. This work is one of Bouguereau's historical genre paintings, which depicts the blind Greek poet Homer, renowned for his epic works the Iliad and the Odyssey, being led by a young guide. The painting is a testament to Bouguereau's mastery of the academic painting style and his ability to convey narrative and emotion through his work.

The painting is characterized by its classical composition and the realistic portrayal of its figures, a hallmark of Bouguereau's technique. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the careful rendering of the characters' expressions and the drapery of their clothing. "Homer and His Guide" reflects Bouguereau's interest in themes from classical antiquity and his commitment to traditional ideals of beauty and form, which were central to the academic art movement of the 19th century.

Bouguereau's depiction of Homer is imbued with a sense of dignity and pathos, as the elderly poet relies on the assistance of a young boy to navigate the world. The interaction between the two figures suggests a narrative of dependence and trust, highlighting the human condition and the universal need for guidance and support. The painting is also an homage to the enduring legacy of Homer's literary contributions and the timeless nature of his epics.

"Homer and His Guide" has been exhibited in various art institutions and is part of the permanent collection of the Milwaukee Art Museum in Wisconsin, United States. The painting continues to be studied and admired for its technical excellence and its evocative portrayal of one of the most iconic figures in Western literature.
