European School (xix) - The Parnase

- Oil on canvas. - Complex composition of mythological inspiration full of allegories. In the foreground, the artist demonstrates his expertise by erecting a magnificent vase on the marble base, while in the background, the Nine Muses dance next to a Corinthian loggia. A magnificent temple rises on the hill that closes the horizon. Probably a French painting by its origin, however the theme is clearly Germanic.
