The Muse of History
Johann Heinrich von Dannecker German
Not on view
Dannecker evolved a weighty, very distinguished style of neoclassicism after training in Paris and Rome. Comparisons with standing figures of Tragedy and History in a relief of 1789 and a seated Girl with a Bird of 1790 make it likely that Dannecker modeled our statuette in Rome or soon after his return to Stuttgart in 1789.
