Important note: We do the best we can in order to depict our art products as clearly as possible and to exhibit them visually. Although, the tone of the printing material and the print result may diverge marginally from the representation on the screen. Depending on your screen settings and the quality of the surface, colors might not be printed as realistically as the digital version on this website. Given that our art reproductions are processed and printed by hand, there might as well be slight differences in the motif's exact position and the size.

General description from the museum (© - The J. Paul Getty Museum - www.getty.edu)

The nine Muses, goddesses of poetic inspiration and the creative arts, surround the god Apollo, who plays a lira di braccio. They gather along the Castelian spring, which flows through the center of the scene. Famous in ancient times as a source of inspiration and learning, this place was appropriate for making music and contemplating the beauty of Mount Parnassus. An identifying inscription fills a cartouche beside each Muse.

Claude Lorrain's friezelike composition, with figures balanced carefully along the foreground plane, reflects the influence of fellow Baroque artist Nicolas Poussin, Claude's contemporary and rival. The substantial forms of the Muses fill the scene, blocking much of the more delicate landscape that was Claude's most frequent subject. This drawing is unique in his work in showing large-scale figures accompanied by inscriptions.

Scholars do not know why the artist made this drawing. Claude or a patron may have wanted to retain a copy of an earlier composition or, more likely, to remember the identification of the figures in the picture.
