Calliope, Marble sculpture in Jardin du Luxembourg, Paris, France.
The marble statue of Calliope stands near the grand basin, depicting the Greek muse holding a lyre in a refined classical pose.
Fernando Pelliccia created this sculpture in 1848, which was later moved to the garden following the French victory at the Siege of Sebastopol.
The statue represents Calliope, the eldest of the Greek Muses, who presides over music, eloquence, and epic poetry in classical mythology.
The sculpture maintains its position on the eastern side of the garden, accessible through multiple pathways and visible to all visitors.
Originally intended for the Orangerie of Jardin des Tuileries, the statue found its permanent home in Luxembourg Gardens in 1902.
