Apotheosis of heroes under the reign of Minerva, Allegorical representation depicting that under the reign of the goddess of wisdom Minerva, eloquence and heroism flourish. In the foreground Minerva sits on a pile of books, holding her spear. Next to her a woman seen from behind, perhaps a muse, holds the caduceus. On the clouds, heroes climb to the Olympus, where Jupiter awaits them. Father Time looks on in vain, watching the heroes gain eternal fame.
