Description |
English: Clio, the Muse of History, is depicted, a scroll in her lap, along with nine children in a meadow, painted by Sims in 1913. After Sims' eldest son, John, was killed in World War I (in the loss of HMS Bulwark, November 1914), Sims in 1915 added a bloodstain to the idyllic Clio and the Children, adding red paint to the scroll of the Muse of History to represent blood. "Sims believed that the War had violated the innocence of future generations. He felt that History could no longer be personified as a beautiful goddess passing on wisdom but that she had more violent lessons to teach."[1] |
