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

Curiosités historiques
Dans la mythologie grecque, Talia était l'une des neuf Muses et était particulièrement vénérée pour son influence sur la comédie et la poésie bucolique.
Elle représentait l'inspiration liée aux arts littéraires et théâtraux, aidant artistes, poètes, acteurs et intellectuels à nourrir leur imagination. Selon la tradition, les Muses étaient filles de Zeus et Mnémosyne et incarnaient l'inspiration divine pour les artistes et les poètes.
Talia est souvent représentée avec un masque comique, symbole du théâtre léger, de la comédie et du divertissement.
Entretien
Le marbre nécessite un soin délicat. Il est conseillé de nettoyer la sculpture avec un chiffon doux et sec, en évitant l'utilisation de produits chimiques ou de détergents agressifs. Pour préserver son éclat, évitez une exposition prolongée à la lumière directe du soleil.
