Trumeau Mirror – 2nd Part Of The 19th Century

This rectangular trumeau has a small wooden frame, with a cracked and molded effect, in a tawny brown color. It is dark with a mercury mirror at the bottom. Separated by a central crosspiece, the upper part includes a large painted canvas. This shows a reproduction of the work entitled “Clio, Euterpe et Thalie” by Eustache Le Sueur (1617-1655). Considered one of the founders of classical French painting, he is sometimes nicknamed “the French Raphael”. On this canvas Clio, the muse of history, holds the trumpet which celebrates the great facts of humanity and the book which records them. Euterpe, muse of music, plays the transverse flute and wears a crown of flowers. Thalie, Muse of comedy, holds a mask that evokes the theater. This trumeau will bring a touch of delicacy to your decoration. ******** Period: 2nd part of the 19th century. Excellent condition. Note some deformations of the canvas. This has been re-lined.
