Muse
Muse
"Muse" by Antoine Bourdelle is a bronze statue that depicts a female figure in a contemplative pose. "Muse" is a fragment of the central motif of the frieze of the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées (1910-1913) "The Meditation of Apollo and the Muses". Bourdelle was inspired by classical models, but he also imbued the statue with a unique, modern sensibility. At the time of its creation, "Muse" was widely acclaimed for its innovative style and its powerful depiction of a timeless symbol. This statue remains a significant example of Bourdelle's ability to merge classical forms with modern elements, creating works that are both timeless and contemporary.
