EDITORS COMMENTS
Calliope, the Muse of Epic Poetry, as depicted in Hendrik Goltzius's engraving "Calliope, 1592" (pl. 1) from his series "The Nine Muses." This image showcases the Dutch artist's mastery of the engraver's art during the 16th century. The Muse is depicted as a regal and elegant figure, seated with a quill pen in her right hand and a scroll in her left. Her flowing hair is adorned with a laurel wreath, symbolizing her divine inspiration and poetic genius. Calliope's serene expression and the intricate details of her attire and surroundings reveal the artist's meticulous attention to detail. This engraving is a testament to the enduring influence of classical mythology on Renaissance art and literature. The image, now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the Netherlands and Europe during this period.
