This print by Johann Friedrich Greuter, titled "Allegory with Minerva at right, leading a young man towards Mount Parnassus, where the Muses sit" transports us to the enchanting world of Roman mythology. In this 17th-century engraving, we witness the goddess of wisdom herself, Minerva, guiding a young man on a transformative journey towards Mount Parnassus. Minerva stands tall and resolute on the right side of the composition, her majestic presence radiating knowledge and enlightenment. With grace and authority, she leads the eager youth towards their destination - an elevated peak where the Muses await their arrival. As our eyes wander upwards to Mount Parnassus in the distance, we catch sight of these ethereal beings seated gracefully amidst clouds.
