A Muse (Calliope?)
by TURA, Cosmè, Oil with egg on poplar, 116 x 71 cm
Tura was the foremost painter of a series of pictures of the Muses for a ‘studiolo’ or study at the Este castle of Belfiore near Ferrara. This picture is thought to be one of the series. It would have been displayed high up in a room, hence the low vanishing-point.
