EDITORS COMMENTS
Terpsichore, the Muse of Dance, is depicted in this enchanting 1592 engraving by Hendrik Goltzius. Terpsichore is one of the Nine Muses, goddesses of the arts in Greek mythology. In this image, she is shown gracefully holding a lyre, a stringed musical instrument, as she plays and inspires dance. The black and white contrast of the print adds to the timeless and ethereal quality of the image. Hendrik Goltzius, a renowned Dutch engraver of the 16th century, expertly captured the essence of Terpsichore's playful and creative spirit. The intricate details of her flowing robes and the delicate curves of her body are rendered with precision and artistry. The background is filled with swirling patterns and intricate designs, further emphasizing the beauty and complexity of the artistic process. Terpsichore's connection to dance and music is reflected in the lyrics and poetry inspired by her. She is often depicted as leading dances and inspiring artists to create works of art. In this way, she embodies the creative and inspiring power of the arts. This print is a testament to the enduring influence of Greek mythology on art and culture throughout history. It is a reminder of the power of the arts to transport us to other worlds and to inspire our own creativity. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to have this beautiful work of art in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the mastery of Hendrik Goltzius and the rich heritage of the arts.
