About the art
Artist statement
Le Muse di Moregine is inspired by the colors of the frescoes of the Roman villa of the Triclini, located near Pompeii.
One of the building's dining rooms (triclinia) is decorated with various figures of Muses and deities.
The Muses (Μοῦσαι in ancient Greek) were the protectors of song, dance, music, and subsequently of all singing and musical expressions.
Erato (Poetry amorosa), Terpsichore (Dance), Clio (History), Talia (Comedy), Euterpe (Music), Calliope (Epic Poetry), Melpomene (Tragedy), Urania (Astronomy) and Polimnia (Sacred Hymns) are the nine Muses that find space on the walls of the dining room of the Roman villa of the Triclini, whose frescoes are still admirable in the Palestra Grande of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii.
