J. STRIXNER (*1782) after MANTEGNA (*1430), Dancing Muse, Parnassus, Lithography Johann Nepomuk Franz Xaver Strixner (1782 Altötting - 1855 Munich) after Andrea Mantegna (around 1430 Cartura Island - 1506 Mantua): Dancing muse in a pleated robe, from Parnassus, 19th century, Lithography Technique: Lithography over tinted stone on Paper Inscription: At the lower part signed in the printing plate: "Andreas Mantegna del: / N: Strixner fecit.". Verso inscribed by another person: "Winkler 965 1.6.". Date: 19th century Description: Before us we see a graphic depicting a standing female figure in flowing robes. The monochrome style demonstrates technical precision in the use of shading and line, giving the work a distinct three-dimensionality and fine texture. The pose and direct gaze of the model suggest a familiar presence and convey a timelessness that seems to capture both ancient and modern aesthetic ideals.
