EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Calliope, from the series Twelve Muses and Goddesses" created by Leon Davent in the mid-16th century. The image depicts a young woman seated in an elegant posture, her hand delicately resting on her head. As one of the muses of Greek mythology, Calliope represents epic poetry and literature. The etched details beautifully capture the grace and poise of this French muse. Her serene expression reflects wisdom beyond her years, embodying the essence of inspiration for writers and poets alike. This artwork is part of the renowned School of Fontainebleau movement that flourished during the Renaissance period in France. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece holds great historical significance as it pays homage to ancient mythological figures while showcasing artistic mastery. The simplicity of black and white enhances its timeless appeal, allowing viewers to appreciate every intricate detail.
