Engraving on laid paper, after a painting by Anton Raphel Mengs (1728-1833, German), with narrow margins, in good condition aside from surface soiling and foxing throughout.
One of the most significant commissions of the eighteenth century was the Parnassus painted by Mengs in 1761 for the Villa Albani, Rome, and hailed as a manifesto of the new style of Neoclassicism. The carefully differentiated Muses, accompanied by their mother, Mnemosyne, derive from ancient sculpture.
