Poem of the Soul (1854)

Louis Janmot was a student of Ingres, among others. His paintings reflect his staunch Catholicism. One of his major works was the 18-part Poem of the Soul. Exhibited at the 1855 Universal Exhibition, these paintings were apparently not well received.

 Divine Generation
  
 The Soul's Journey
  
 The Angel and the Mother
  
 Spring
  
 Memories of the Sky
  
 Father's House
  
 Bad Path
  
 The Nightmare
  
 The Grain Seed
  
 First Communion
  
 Virginitas
  
 The Golden Stairs
  
 Rays of the Sun
 
 On the Mountain
  
 One Evening
  
 The Soul's Flight
  
 Ideal
  
Reality
