EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edward John Poynter's masterpiece, "Erato, Muse of Poetry". Created in 1870 with watercolor on paper, this exquisite artwork measures 47x33 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The photograph was taken by eThe Ms Gallery in London and is now available for all to appreciate. In the image, Erato, one of the nine Greek muses representing poetry and lyricism, takes center stage. With her delicate wings gracefully spread behind her and a laurel wreath adorning her head, she embodies the essence of inspiration. However, there is an undeniable sense of melancholy emanating from her pensive expression. The artist skillfully captures Erato's angelic beauty as she gazes into the distance. Her winged figure appears both ethereal and sorrowful simultaneously. A garland lies at her feet while she delicately holds a lyre – symbolizing music and songwriting – close to her heart. Poynter's painting not only pays homage to classical mythology but also evokes emotions that resonate with any lover of poetry or art. This timeless piece invites viewers to delve into their own thoughts and emotions while contemplating the power of creativity. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' exceptional reproduction quality, this print allows us to bring home a piece of artistic history. It serves as a reminder that even sadness can inspire great works of art like "Erato, Muse of Poetry. "
