Marble statue of the Cleveland Museum of Art The Muse of Poetry
The Poetic Muse in Ancient Greek Mythology She is one of the nine Muses who inspired her creation. She holds a lyre and has a double snake-wound staff. The statue was carved out of marble by Italian sculptor Antonio Canova in 1816. It is one of nine muse statues designed by Canova for Tsar Alexander I of Russia. The statues were originally intended to be placed in the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, but they were scattered to different places due to the sudden death of the Tsar. The Poetic Muse was eventually acquired by the Cleveland Museum of Art in 1968. It is one of the museum's most important collections.
