EDITORS COMMENTS
Calliope, the enchanting Muse of Epic Poetry, is depicted in this exquisite copperplate engraving by Tommaso Piroli, taken from his renowned collection, "Antiquities of Herculaneum" (Antichità di Ercolano), published in Rome in 1789. The captivating image showcases Calliope in her classical splendor, holding a scroll in her left hand, which symbolizes the epic poetry she inspires. The scroll is adorned with intricate, flowing script, reflecting the grandeur and complexity of the epic genre. In her right hand, she cradles a wreath of ivy and edera, a symbol of eternal life and the lush, verdant beauty of nature. The ivy entwines around her arms, further emphasizing her connection to the natural world and the enduring power of poetry. The delicate, yet intricate details of the engraving reveal Piroli's masterful skill as an artist, transporting us back to the classical world of ancient Greece and Rome. This evocative image of Calliope, with her serene expression and regal bearing, continues to inspire and captivate viewers, reminding us of the timeless beauty and power of epic poetry.
