Beautiful Pair of Antique c.1860 French Muse Copperplate Engravings-Hand-ColoredUp for sale is a stunning, authentic matching pair of 19th-century French neoclassic copperplate engravings. These masterfully executed works were struck circa 1860 from the famous original plates created for Le Musee Francais-the historic publishing project documenting the masterworks of the Louvre Place Museum.
Both prints are based on the famous 17th-century masterpiece paintings of the Muses by French master Eustache Le Sueur, hanging permanently in the Louvre:
Muse N II: Urania - The Muse of astronomy, beautifully depicted holding a compass against a detailed celestial globe featuring the constellations.
Muse N III: Terpsichore - The Muse of dance and choral song, beautifully depicted holding a classical triangle instrument.
