EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Statue of Clio" the Greek muse of history and lyre playing. Created by François-Anne David in 1787, this copperplate engraving beautifully captures the essence of Roman art and mythology. The statue depicts Clio holding a lyre, an ancient musical instrument associated with poetry and song. With delicate details expertly engraved by David, every curve and contour of the sculpture is brought to life in this stunning image. Drawing inspiration from Roman statues, engraved stones, and medals found in Florence's Museum de Florence as well as the cabinet of curiosities belonging to the Grand Duke of Tuscany, David meticulously crafted this illustration. His dedication to accuracy shines through each line engraving. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to ancient Rome where gods and muses reigned supreme. The intricate craftsmanship reminds us of the rich history that has shaped our world today. With its blend of classical artistry and mythological symbolism, this print serves as a testament to human creativity throughout centuries. It invites us to explore not only the beauty captured within but also ignites our curiosity about antiquities and their significance. Bridgeman Images has once again curated a masterpiece that allows us to appreciate both historical artifacts and artistic expression at its finest.
