"Apollo and the Muses on Parnassus" is a lunette fresco by the Italian painter Antonio Maria Viani, created in the late 16th or early 17th century. The artwork is a representation of the mythological Mount Parnassus, which in Greek mythology is the home of the Muses and the site of the Castalian Spring, a source of inspiration for poets and artists. The central figure of the fresco is Apollo, the god of music, poetry, and the arts, often depicted with a lyre, which he is playing in this work. Surrounding Apollo are the nine Muses, each embodying a different aspect of the creative arts and sciences, such as history, tragedy, and dance.

The fresco is a celebration of the harmonious collaboration between the arts, with Apollo as the guiding force of creativity and the Muses as the embodiments of the various disciplines. Viani's work is characterized by its dynamic composition, the elegant figures, and the use of color and light to emphasize the divine nature of the scene. The lunette, a semi-circular form, frames the celestial gathering and enhances the sense of a separate, sacred space for the deities.

Antonio Maria Viani, active during the transition from the Mannerist to the Baroque period, was known for his work in the Ducal Palace of Mantua and other significant commissions in Northern Italy. "Apollo and the Muses on Parnassus" reflects the cultural and artistic values of the time, where mythology was often used as an allegory for the pursuit of knowledge and artistic excellence.

The fresco is an important example of Viani's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of the cultural and artistic milieu of the Italian Renaissance and early Baroque periods. It remains an object of study for art historians interested in the iconography of the Muses and the representation of mythological themes in Renaissance art.
