(Le Parnasse)
On the summit of an arched rock stand Mars and Venus before a
draped bed backed by orange trees. To the left is Cupid, while
Vulcan stands before his forge. Below, to the extreme left, Apollo
plays his lyre to the strains of which the Muses dance. To the
right Mercury, wearing the _petasus_ and _talaria_ and carrying the
_caduceus_, leans against Pegasus. Landscape background.
Painted in tempera on canvas.
