"Minerva und die Musen auf dem Helikon" (Minerva and the Muses on Mount Helicon) is a renowned painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Gerard de Lairesse. Created in the 17th century, this artwork is a quintessential example of the classical and mythological themes that were prevalent in European art during this period. The painting depicts the Roman goddess Minerva, known as Athena in Greek mythology, among the Muses, the inspirational goddesses of literature, science, and the arts, on the mythical Mount Helicon.

In the painting, de Lairesse illustrates a harmonious gathering of the deities, with Minerva, the goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare, often associated with the arts and crafts, presiding over the assembly. The Muses, each representing a different artistic discipline, are shown in various poses, engaging in their respective arts. The setting of Mount Helicon, a mountain in Greece that was sacred to Apollo and the Muses, provides a fitting backdrop for this allegorical assembly, symbolizing the pinnacle of artistic inspiration and intellectual pursuit.

Gerard de Lairesse, known for his classical style and intellectual approach to art, often drew upon ancient history, mythology, and allegory in his works. "Minerva und die Musen auf dem Helikon" is a testament to his mastery in blending these elements with the refined techniques of the Dutch Baroque tradition. The painting not only showcases de Lairesse's skillful composition and use of color but also reflects the cultural values of the era, emphasizing the importance of learning, the arts, and the interplay between them.

This work is significant in the oeuvre of de Lairesse as it encapsulates the ideals of the Enlightenment, during which artists and thinkers sought to align themselves with the rationality and virtues of the classical past. "Minerva und die Musen auf dem Helikon" remains an important cultural artifact, offering insight into the artistic and philosophical currents of the 17th century, as well as the enduring legacy of classical mythology in European art.
