Made to live with

In Roman homes, images of the Muses were often placed in libraries and studies, alongside portraits of poets and philosophers. Thalia brings that classical tradition into a contemporary interior.

Grand Tour Editions

The Grand Tour, reimagined.

Classical sculpture returns to the interior as a living presence: selected in Italy, made in enduring materials, and conceived for contemporary collections.

Classical forms. Symbols for today.
The Meaning

Classical forms. Symbols for today.

In the ancient world, sculpture expressed values: Venus meant beauty, Hercules courage, Perseus intelligence, and the Muses knowledge.

Historische Besonderheiten

In der griechischen Mythologie war Thalia eine der neun Musen und wurde besonders für ihren Einfluss auf die Komödie und die bukolische Dichtung verehrt.

Sie verkörperte die Inspiration für die literarischen und theatralischen Künste und half Künstlern, Dichtern, Schauspielern und Intellektuellen, ihre Fantasie zu beflügeln. Der Tradition nach waren die Musen Töchter von Zeus und Mnemosyne und standen für die göttliche Inspiration von Künstlern und Dichtern.

Thalia wird oft mit einer komischen Maske dargestellt, einem Symbol für das leichte Theater, die Komödie und die Unterhaltung.

Pflegehinweise

Marmor erfordert eine sorgfältige Pflege. Es wird empfohlen, die Skulptur mit einem weichen, trockenen Tuch zu reinigen und dabei die Verwendung von chemischen oder aggressiven Reinigungsmitteln zu vermeiden. Um ihren Glanz zu bewahren, sollte eine längere direkte Sonneneinstrahlung vermieden werden.
