EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Apollo with Erato and Cupid" is a visual allegory of poetry, created by the talented German artist Johann Kellerthaler in 1595. The artwork showcases Apollo, the Greek god of music and poetry, holding his iconic instrument called kithara. This stringed instrument was often used to recite epic poems. In this enchanting scene, we also see Erato, one of the nine Muses in Greek mythology who represents lyric poetry. She is depicted with a lute and tambourine at her feet, symbolizing her role in inspiring musical verse that expresses emotions such as love. Lyric poetry is known for its short yet rhythmic verses that beautifully convey ideas or feelings. Johann Kellerthaler resided in Dresden during his lifetime and served as a painter, sculptor, printmaker, and goldsmith for members of the Saxon court. His attention to detail and skillful use of pen and ink are evident in this exquisite drawing. This remarkable piece from the 16th century captures not only the artistic talent of Kellerthaler but also provides us with a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Germany. It now resides within The Cleveland Museum of Art's collection thanks to Heritage Art/Heritage Images' dedication to preserving these valuable works for future generations to appreciate.
