EDITORS COMMENTS
Thalia, the Muse of Comedy, as depicted in Hendrik Goltzius's engraving "Thalia, 1592" from the series "The Nine Muses" (plate 2). This image, created in the 1590s, showcases Thalia in a seated position, holding a comic mask and a scroll in her hands. The Dutch artist, Hendrik Goltzius, masterfully captures the essence of Thalia's playful and joyful nature, making her one of the most beloved and approachable of the nine Muses. Thalia is often depicted as a young woman with a cheerful expression, reflecting her role as the Muse of comedy and merriment. In Greek mythology, she was believed to inspire poets and writers to create works that brought laughter and joy to their audiences. This engraving is a testament to the artistic mastery of Hendrik Goltzius during the Renaissance period in the Netherlands. His intricate lines and delicate shading bring Thalia to life, inviting us to appreciate the beauty and grace of this mythological figure. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is home to this remarkable work of art, which is a valuable addition to the museum's extensive collection of heritage art from Europe. The image is a reminder of the enduring influence of Greek mythology on art and culture, and the continued fascination with the nine Muses and their roles as inspirational figures.
