Charles Meynier's 'Apollo, God of Light, Eloquence, Poetry, and the Fine Arts, with the Muse Urania' (1798) is a major Neoclassical allegory by the French painter, originally designed for the Louvre palace's ceremonial ceiling programme. Apollo and his astronomy muse are arranged amid clouds in a coolly ideal composition carrying the Enlightenment's fusion of the sciences and the arts. It is held at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
