Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: A house has, amongst other frescoes, “portraits” of muses. Their names were added, I deciphered: Euterpe (One of the Muses in Greek mythology, presiding over music), Thalia (who presided over comedy and idyllic poetry), Terpsichore (one of the nine Muses and goddess of dance and chorus), Kleio (the muse of history, or in a few mythological accounts, the muse of lyre-playing. She seems to be holding a stylus in one and a book in the other hand).
The photographic conditions were decent, but not spectacular. The light was somewhat filtered, and as one walked on scaffolding rather than on the floors, perspective was a constant trouble. I am always a bit in doubt about the actual colours of frescoes, in some cases I go for more whitish than in others. When very much in doubt I show two versions. |
