The Muse Erato Writing Verses Inspired by Love ca. 1797 Charles Meynier French In 1797 François-Bernard Boyer-Fonfrède, an industrial textile manufacturer, commissioned Meynier to paint nine canvases featuring Apollo and the Muses for a large room in his home in Toulouse. Meynier exhibited the painting based on this drawing at the Salon of 1800 but ultimately only completed five canvases, as his patron ran out of money. The paintings were installed in the hall of Wallenried Castle, Switzerland by General Castella de Berlens around 1824, where they remained until 1983. The group was acquired by the Cleveland Museum of Art in 2003.In this study, Erato, the muse of lyrical poetry, writes verses using Love's arrow as he whispers in her ear. Typical of his style as a draftsman, Meynier sketched in his classicizing figures in a confident manner, using a muscular ink outline over a black chalk underdrawing. A liberal use of white gouache lends the scene a painterly and sunlit quality. The dra

Indians Lamenting the Approach of the White Man (from McGuire Scrapbook) ca. 1830 Frederick Stiles Agate American The son of English immigrants, Agate was a student of Samuel F. B. Morse and a founding member of the National Academy of Design. In this drawing, one of only a few by the artist that survives, four Indians cluster together in attitudes of despair and resignation. Agate studied and worked in Italy in the mid-1830s, and the influence of classical sculpture is evident in the poses and draperies as well as the pyramidal composition. This drawing may have been a study for a painting. It shares a dramatic sensibility with Agates other works of the 1830s, including "Jesuit Missionaries among the Indians" and a scene from Dantes Inferno titled "Count Ugolino" (both whereabouts unknown)..
