# Apollo and the Muses [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [PERUZZI, Baldassare]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Oil on wood, 35 x 78 cm ## Commentary This panel was part of a case for a keyboard instrument; Apollo and the nine Muses, their names written below in Greek, are a suitable subject for such a purpose. Peruzzi, a follower of Raphael, was an architect and painter who moved fluidly among artistic tasks, but his heart was in drawing, as the dancers' gracefully swirling skirts joyously demonstrate. ## Related artworks - [Ceiling decoration]() - [Ceiling decoration \(Volta Dorata\)]() - [Decoration of the Sala delle Prospettive]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Interior view]() - [Perseus and Pegasus]() - [Perspective view of the Sala delle Prospettive]() - [Perspective view of the Sala delle Prospettive]() - [Perspective view of the Sala delle Prospettive]() - [Tomb of Pope Hadrian VI]() - [Tomb of Pope Hadrian VI]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
