EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Nicolas Poussin's masterpiece, "Parnassus" painted in 1630. The oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 145x197 cm and is currently housed at the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. In this painting, we witness a gathering of the muses around Apollo on Mount Parnassus. Each muse represents a different artistic discipline - Calliope for epic poetry, Clio for history, Erato for lyric art, Euterpe for music, Melpomene for tragedy, Polymnie for rhetoric, Terpsichore for dance, Thalia for pastoral poetry, and Urania for astrology and astronomy. The composition exudes intellectualism and creativity as these mythological characters come together to inspire artists throughout history. Crowned with laurel leaves symbolizing their achievements in their respective fields of expertise, they surround Apollo who stands as the embodiment of artistic excellence. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captures this iconic painting through her lens while emphasizing its French origin and timeless allure. This photograph serves as a reminder of the profound impact that literature and art have had on society since ancient times. With its rich symbolism and meticulous execution by Poussin himself, "Parnassus" remains an enduring testament to the power of imagination and human expression.
