UnknownGreat Grass Juice 19th Century, The Nine Muses1800s
1800s
About the Item
Grass juice. The word Euterp appears in the lower right corner.
The huge grass juice depicts the nine Muses, Greek female deities, all sisters, as daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, and having as their guide the god Apollo. They represented the supreme ideal of Art, understood as the truth of the "All" or the "eternal magnificence of the divine."
Initially loosely regarded as gods of song and juggling dances, deputed to set to music and verse stories such as the origin of the world, the birth of gods and men, and the exploits of Zeus, and depicted often accompanied by various musical instruments, from the Hellenistic era onward all singing and musical expressions including sad and funeral ones, and other arts such as theater were associated with them, and each of them was associated with a specific genre of art, so that they could be individually invoked to exercise their inspiration and protection.
The word "Euterp" refers to the name of one of them, precisely Euterpe, muse of lyric poetry and music, traditionally depicted with a flute; but the name Euterpe etymologically means "She who rejoices" who brings joy, and one can think therefore of the choice of such a name to holder the tapestry want to defer to the oldest function of the Muses, those of bringing joy through art.
In this presentation, the muses appear as they dance, decked out in veils and flowering vines; in their hands or laid beside them appear tools or other objects symbolic of the art they inspire (theatrical masks both tragic and comic, the pictorial palette, various musical instruments...).
THE large painting shows signs of wear and moisture stains.

Paesaggio con Figure, 1700s
By Antonio Francesco Peruzzini 1
Located in Milan, IT
Olio su tela.
La grande composizione propone un paesaggio che vede centrale un grande albero. a sormontare con le sue rade frasche la campagna sottostante, traversata da un corso d'acqua e animata da diverse figure di popolani intenti ad attività o a riposo; in alto a destra si erge una fortezza, che domina la vallata.
Già attribuito al marchigiano Peruzzini, il dipinto si può ricondurre senz'altro al suo ambito, per i tratti pittorici veloci e poco aggregati.
Antonio Francesco si specializzò nella pittura di paesaggio, subendo l'influenza di Salvator Rosa e di paesaggisti come Pietro Montanini...
