About the piece
This evocative painting by Louis Janmot, part of his 'Poem of the Soul' series from 1854, depicts a graceful circle of five women dancing in a lush, wooded clearing. Bathed in soft, sun-dappled light, the work exemplifies the Romantic interest in allegory and the spiritual journey of the soul, characterized by refined drapery and a dreamlike atmosphere.
