Muze met schriftrol staand in nis 1511 - 1520

This engraving by Marcantonio Raimondi, titled *Muze met schriftrol staand in nis*, depicts a muse, possibly Clio, the muse of history, standing in a niche. Created between 1511 and 1520, the print showcases Raimondi's mastery of line and detail. The muse's drapery and the architectural elements are rendered with meticulous precision, characteristic of the High Renaissance style. The use of hatching and cross-hatching to create light and shadow adds depth and volume to the figure, highlighting the artist's skill in chiaroscuro. This work, now in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the influence of Raphael on Raimondi's art.
