    Jean-Louis Ducis, 1775-1847 

    Sappho recalled to life by the charm of music, ca.1811, oil on canvas, 115.2x146.3 cm

    The Norton Simon Foundation,  Inv. F.1983.10.P

    This elegant and highly finished rendering of Sappho Recalled to Life by the Charm of Music shows the poetess stirring from the deep melancholy that befell her after her lover Phaon’s abandonment. The rhythmic and decorous choreography of her attendants and the arrangement of the drama close to the picture plane recall a stage performance. A bronze statue of Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, alludes to the strength of mind needed to withstand the pangs of love.(Norton Simon Museum)
