About the piece
Created in 1854 as part of his monumental 'Le Poème de l'âme' cycle, Louis Janmot's 'The Flight of the Soul' captures a moment of spiritual transcendence. Two figures, draped in flowing robes of red and translucent blue, glide over a misty valley, their forms rendered with a soft, luminous quality characteristic of Janmot's unique blend of Romanticism and Symbolism.
