"Art And Its Spirits" (Greek: Η Τέχνη και τα Πνεύματά της) is a renowned painting by the Greek artist Nicholaos Gysis, created in 1901. As one of the most significant works of Gysis, it is emblematic of the artist's engagement with the Munich School style and his exploration of the allegorical and symbolic representation of art.

The painting is an oil on canvas and depicts a scene where the personification of Art, portrayed as a young woman, is surrounded by various ethereal figures representing different spirits or muses that inspire and guide the creative process. These spirits are often interpreted as embodying various aspects of the arts, such as poetry, music, and painting. The central figure of Art is shown in a moment of inspiration, suggesting the divine or supernatural influence that art can channel.

Gysis, born in 1842 on the island of Tinos and later a prominent figure in the Munich School, was known for his academic style and his ability to infuse Greek national themes with broader European artistic movements. "Art And Its Spirits" reflects this synthesis, combining classical Greek elements with the technical precision and stylistic characteristics of 19th-century European academic art.

The painting is celebrated for its intricate detail, use of light and shadow, and the harmonious composition that guides the viewer's eye through the canvas. It is also a testament to Gysis's philosophical contemplation of art's role in society and the artist's relationship with the unseen forces that drive creativity.

"Art And Its Spirits" is held in high regard not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its cultural significance in the context of modern Greek art. It is often cited in discussions of the National School of Greece and the broader narrative of 19th-century European art. The painting is housed in the National Gallery – Alexandros Soutzos Museum in Athens, Greece, where it continues to be an object of study and admiration for both art historians and the general public.
