Euterpe 1537 - 1545

"Euterpe" is a 16th-century engraving by Antonio Fantuzzi, showcasing the Greek muse of music. Euterpe is depicted in a flowing robe, holding a double flute, her instrument of choice. The detailed rendering of her drapery and the graceful pose contribute to the piece's overall sense of elegance. This work, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the Renaissance interest in classical subjects and the skillful use of the engraving technique.
