PETER NIXON 3 Artist Embellished Giclees on Canvas, professionally Framed 27x40", NICE!

Here are three wonderful PETER NIXON Embellished Giclees on Canvas Beautifully Framed. Each print measures 14x27" and framed 27x40" Erato - Mars, Euterpe - Jupiter and Terpsichore - Venus. Three of his Celestial Muses series. The Muse series by Peter Nixon is a fascinating take on the nine Muses of Greek mythology. In his paintings, each of the Muses is seen with a planetary body. They are: Calliope, Mercury; Terpsichore, Venus; Thalia, Earth; Clio, the Moon; Erato, Mars; Polyhymnia, Saturn; Euterpe, Jupiter; Melpomene, Neptune; Urania, Uranus. Muses originate in Greek mythology as the nine daughters of Zeus. They are the goddesses that inspire the domains of science, literature and the arts. Authors would often invoke the Muses when creating their works, be it songs or poems. Each Muse is associated with an item that refers to their specific domain. For instance, Erato, the Muse of lyric and romantic poetry, has a lyre-like instrument. In his 2013 Muses series, Nixon incorporates these items with the appropriate goddess. Some are not as obvious – Polyhymnia, the Muse of hymns, has a compass drawing tool since she also inspires geometry. Nixon decided, however, that something more was needed for depicting these goddesses. “It’s been one of those subjects that has been done by artists in the past, and I wanted to put my spin on it, so I brought the planetary element in,” he says. Purchased onboard the Coral Princess cruise ship in 2013, these have been proudly displayed in my office. The new office space isn't large enough for them so I am selling them for less than I paid.
