Urania og Gæa sidder på en firkantet stenblok 1771 - 1772

"Urania og Gæa sidder på en firkantet stenblok" (Urania and Gaia Sit on a Square Stone Block), an engraving created by J.F. Clemens between 1771 and 1772, portrays the Greek goddesses Urania, the muse of astronomy, and Gaia, the personification of the Earth. Urania holds a globe and a compass, while Gaia holds a flute, symbolizing their respective domains. The engraving showcases Clemens' skill in capturing the classical figures in a dynamic composition, exemplifying the neoclassical style prevalent in the 18th century. This piece, currently housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases the artist's talent for detail and his interest in exploring classical mythology.
