Melpomene

thingiverse

Melpomene, Monte Calvo, 2nd century A.D., marble, Nye Carlsberg Glyptotek (Copenhagen, Denmark), crafted with meticulous detail using Memento Beta software, now upgraded to Remake by Autodesk. The long-sleeved garment and high-sitting belt of this statue were worn by actors who brought Greek tragedy to life on stage. The wreath of vines and grapes adorning the woman's head serves as a powerful reminder of her association with Dionysos, the revered god of Theatre and performance. As the Muse of Tragedy, Melpomene embodies the artistic expression and emotional depth that define this timeless art form.
