EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting Lady Hamilton as the Comic Muse, Thalia. Created in 1791 by Raphael Morghen, this masterpiece showcases the beauty and talent of Emma Hamilton (also known as Amy Lyon or Emma Hart). The image portrays her dressed in an exquisite costume, adorned with intricate details that reflect the elegance of eighteenth-century fashion. Lady Hamilton's curly hair cascades down her shoulders, framing a face that exudes both grace and mischief. With a mask in hand, she embodies Thalia, one of the nine muses from Greek mythology associated with comedy and idyllic poetry. Her portrayal captivates viewers with its blend of playfulness and sophistication. The second state engraving is a testament to Morghen's skillful artistry. Every line etched on paper brings out Lady Hamilton's charm while paying homage to Angelica Kauffman's original painting. This Italian-born artist was renowned for her portraits during this era. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece stands as a testament to Lady Hamilton's enduring legacy as a muse and performer. It transports us back to an era when women like her were celebrated for their beauty, talent, and contribution to society. As we gaze upon this portrait today, we are reminded not only of Lady Hamilton's allure but also of the rich history that surrounds it – a glimpse into Britain's cultural heritage during the eighteenth century.
