Nine Muses
The Nine Muses of Greek mythology, who preside over the arts and sciences. They are Calliope (epic poetry), Euterpe (music), Clio (history), Erato (lyrics/love poetry), Melpomene (tragedy), Polyhymnia (sacred poetry), Terpsichore (dancing), Thalia (comedy) and Urania (astronomy, hence her position at the top, surrounded by stars). One of them holds a caduceus, a staff entwined with snakes. Engraved by T. S. Engleheart in 1825 after a painting by Thomas Stothard. (Photo by Hulton Archive/Getty Images)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting Nine Muses of Greek mythology, each representing a different aspect of the arts and sciences. Standing together in perfect harmony, these divine beings exude an aura of wisdom and creativity that has inspired countless generations. In this stunning portrait format, we are transported back to ancient times, where these mythical figures held great significance in Greek civilization. Their presence evokes a sense of mystery and reverence as they preside over various realms such as epic poetry, music, history, love poetry, tragedy, sacred poetry, dancing, comedy, and astronomy. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke engraved by T. S. Engleheart in 1825 after Thomas Stothard's original painting. The composition beautifully captures their individual personalities while maintaining a cohesive group dynamic. Notably depicted is one Muse holding a caduceus—an emblematic staff entwined with snakes—a symbol associated with healing and communication. This inclusion adds another layer of intrigue to the image. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Hulton Archive/Getty Images' collection without mentioning any commercial use or company affiliation—it serves as a powerful reminder of the profound influence these muses had on artistry throughout history. From literature to theatre and beyond—these goddesses continue to inspire us today with their timeless grace and boundless creativity.
