"Erato", by Frederic Leighton, depicts the Greek muse of lyric poetry. Erato is depicted as a beautiful woman wearing a pink robe, placing a crown of flowers on her head, with wings sprouting from her back. She is standing over a naked man, who is holding a lyre, the instrument of music. The painting uses an elegant style that is characteristic of Pre-Raphaelite art, with meticulous attention to detail and vibrant colors. Leighton was known for his depictions of beautiful women in classical settings, showcasing the idealized beauty of the Victorian era.
