Cosimo Tura, A Muse (Calliope?) Poster by National Gallery

About Cosimo Tura, A Muse (Calliope?) Poster

Take One Picture. The art poster shows A Muse (Calliope?)' by Cosimo Tura, from our collection.Knees apart and hand placed confidently on her knee, this imperious lady looks down - but not at us. Her twisted pose is tense and defensive: she looks as though she is clasping an imaginary shield while showing off the luxurious fabric of her sleeve, woven with gold. Six dolphin-like creatures adorned with spikes and rubies for eyes guard her throne, baring sharp teeth. A scallop shell hung with coral and crystal beads crowns the maritime throne.
