"Melpomene, Erato and Polymnie", c. 1652 by Eustache Le
Sueur (1616-1655) - Louvre Museum, Paris, France.
Note: Melpomene does not represent here tragedy as per
Virgil, instead it stands for song and music as per
Horace. Erato represents love and poetry and plays the
viola. Polymnia represents lyric poetry and holds a
book. ( Back to Illustrated Theme)
