Apollo and the Two Muses by Batoni Pompeo

Apollo and the Two Muses by Batoni Pompeo

One of the best paintings of the mythological theme of the early period of the painter Pompeo Batoni is also known as “Apollo, which gives music lessons”. Apollo, in Greek mythology and religion, is the son of Zeus, god-healer and soothsayer, patron of the arts.

He was portrayed as a beautiful young man with kifara or a bow and arrow. Among the ancient images of Apollo are the most famous ancient Greek statues: “Apollo, killing a lizard” and “Apollo Belvedere”. Wilanów Palace in the suburbs of Warsaw Wilanów was built from 1679 in the Baroque style for King Jan Sobieski.

The decoration of palace interiors dragged on until the 1730s, the time of the reign of King Augustus the Strong. Then, the Wilanow Palace belonged to various aristocratic families until 1805, when Count Stanislav Potocki opened one of the first museums in Poland in Wilanow Palace.
