EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Nicolo dell Abbate's masterpiece, "The Parnassus Apollo and the muses Calliope, Clio, Erato, Euterpe, Melpomene, Polymnia, Terpsichore, Thalie, Urania". Painted during the Italian mannerism period in the 16th century and housed in the Bibliotheque des Beaux Arts de Paris. The artwork showcases a harmonious gathering of Greek gods and goddesses representing various art forms. At the center stands Apollo himself on Mount Parnassus surrounded by nine muses. Each muse symbolizes a different artistic discipline: Calliope for epic poesy; Clio for history; Erato for lyric art; Euterpe for music; Melpomene for tragedies; Polymnia for rhetoric; Terpsichore for dance; Thalie for pastoral poesy; and Urania for astrology and astronomy. Dell Abbate's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush. The composition exudes elegance as each figure gracefully interacts with one another against a backdrop of lush greenery. Their expressions convey passion and inspiration that have transcended time. Leonard de Selva has skillfully captured this iconic artwork through his lens while preserving its essence. This print serves as a testament to Dell Abbate's artistic prowess and pays homage to the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire generations. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness the divine harmony between creativity and knowledge embodied by these mythical beings. It reminds us of our own capacity to create beauty through various art forms while embracing wisdom from history and celestial wonders above.
