Salvador Dalí created the suite of Les Muses while creating works for two of his patrons Giuseppe and Mara Albaretto. The artworks are inspired by Greek mythology.
Terpsichore is the Muse of dance and choral song in Greek mythology. She is one of the nine Muses, daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, and is often depicted with a lyre or performing in a dance. Her name is derived from the Greek words "terpsis" (meaning "enjoyment") and "choros" (meaning "dance"), reflecting her role in inspiring the arts related to dance and song.

Salvador Dalí, born on May 11, 1904, in Figueres, Catalonia, Spain, was one of the most renowned surrealist artists of the 20th century. His extraordinary talent, eccentric personality, and flamboyant style made him a legendary figure in the art world.
Dalí showed artistic promise from a young age and began formal art training at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid. During his time in Madrid, he experimented with various styles, including impressionism and cubism, before discovering surrealism, a movement that would profoundly shape his artistic vision.
In the early 1920s, Dalí moved to Paris, where he became immersed in the surrealist movement led by André Breton. His iconic paintings from this period, such as "The Persistence of Memory" (1931), featuring melting clocks draped over surreal landscapes, established him as a leading figure in the surrealist movement.
Dalí's artistic genius was not confined to painting; he also dabbled in sculpture, film, photography, and writing. His collaborations with filmmakers such as Luis Buñuel resulted in groundbreaking works like the surrealist film "Un Chien Andalou" (1929).
Throughout his career, Dalí cultivated a larger-than-life persona characterized by his flamboyant attire, trademark mustache, and eccentric behavior. He thrived on controversy and self-promotion, often engaging in provocative stunts to garner attention.
Despite his eccentricities, Dalí's artistic brilliance was undeniable, earning him international acclaim and admiration. His works were exhibited in prestigious galleries and museums around the world, cementing his status as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.
Dalí passed away on January 23, 1989, leaving behind a rich and diverse body of work that continues to captivate and inspire audiences to this day. His contributions to surrealism and the broader art world ensure that his legacy as a visionary artist will endure for generations to come.
