EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning wax plaque titled "Euterpe" created by Bertha Gabriella Casella, also known as Ella. Measuring 19.1x11.4 cm, this bas-relief of colored wax is held in a private collection and captures the essence of Euterpe, one of the Greek Muses. In Greek mythology, Euterpe was considered the "Giver of delight" and was associated with music. As later poets assigned specific roles to each Muse, she became known as the muse of music and lyric poetry. In this depiction, Euterpe is portrayed holding a flute, symbolizing her connection to both musical inspiration and poetic expression. The artist's attention to detail is evident in this exquisite piece. The delicate features on Euterpe's face are beautifully rendered in wax drawing technique while her flowing hair adds an ethereal touch to the composition. This profile medallist sculpture truly brings forth the classical spirit that inspired generations. The photograph itself has been expertly captured by The Ms Gallery in London and belongs to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate Casella's skillful interpretation of Euterpe's significance within ancient Greek culture. Whether you are drawn to classical art or have an appreciation for muses and their influence on creativity throughout history, this print serves as a remarkable testament to both artistic talent and mythological inspiration.
