"The Muses Melpomene, Erato, and Polymnia" is a renowned painting by the French artist Eustache Le Sueur, created in the 17th century. This work is part of a series of paintings that depict the nine Muses of Greek mythology, who were considered the inspirational goddesses of literature, science, and the arts. Each Muse was responsible for a different domain of the creative arts and sciences, and Le Sueur's series captures the unique attributes and symbols associated with each one.

In this particular painting, Le Sueur portrays three of the Muses together. Melpomene is recognized as the Muse of tragedy and is often depicted with a tragic mask, the club of Hercules, or a sword, and wearing the cothurnus, boots traditionally worn by tragic actors. Erato is the Muse of lyric poetry, especially love and erotic poetry, and is usually shown with a small lyre or a cithara, a type of ancient Greek musical instrument. Polymnia, known as the Muse of sacred poetry, hymns, and eloquence as well as agriculture and pantomime, is often represented with a pensive expression, sometimes holding a finger to her mouth.

Le Sueur's depiction of the Muses is celebrated for its harmonious composition and the graceful representation of the figures, embodying the classical ideals of beauty and proportion. The painting is a testament to Le Sueur's skill in capturing the ethereal and intellectual qualities of his subjects, which was a hallmark of his work. As a leading figure of the French classical school, Le Sueur's contributions to art history include not only his paintings of the Muses but also his work on the interiors of the Hôtel Lambert and the Louvre.

"The Muses Melpomene, Erato, and Polymnia" is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be admired for its aesthetic qualities and its embodiment of the classical spirit. The painting is an important piece within Le Sueur's oeuvre and serves as a significant example of 17th-century French classical art, reflecting the cultural and artistic values of the period.
