"Clio, Muse of Epic Poetry and History" is an artwork by Robert Bonnart, a 17th-century French engraver and printmaker. The piece is part of a series of engravings that depict the nine Muses of Greek mythology, each of whom presided over a different domain of the arts and sciences. Clio, known as the Muse of history and sometimes associated with epic poetry, is traditionally represented with scrolls or books that signify her role as the proclaimer, glorifier, and celebrator of history, heroic deeds, and accomplishments.

In Bonnart's representation, Clio is often depicted in a classical pose, adorned with the attributes that identify her as the Muse of history. The artwork is reflective of the Baroque style, prevalent during Bonnart's time, which is characterized by dramatic expression, rich detail, and a sense of movement. Bonnart's engravings were widely disseminated and influential in spreading the iconography of the Muses in art and culture during the period.

Robert Bonnart, along with his brother Nicolas Bonnart, was part of a family of artists and played a significant role in the Parisian art market. His works, including the series featuring the Muses, contributed to the popularization of classical themes in the decorative arts and were collected by art connoisseurs and patrons of the era.

The engraving of Clio would have been used both as a work of art and as an educational tool, embodying the values and ideals of knowledge and learning that were esteemed during the Age of Enlightenment. Today, Bonnart's depiction of Clio remains a testament to the enduring legacy of classical mythology in European art and the continued fascination with the allegorical representation of the arts and sciences.
