Here the goddess – who we might put in the character of the artist – is deftly harnessing the powers of a hairy snake being. As with many of Hunter’s muse pictures, the artist or deity is naked, and female. According to art historical conventions, she would have been the titular muse.' - AHU297Exhibitions
