Parnassus Profaned 1520-1599 Italy. Artists in Renaissance Rome not only copied the antique but also parodied it in sometimes sensational ways. Here the mysterious Italian engraver H. F. E. turned Raphaelís Apollo on Parnassus fresco (and Marcantonioís print, 1919.2554) into a sinuous, sexually charged bacchanal.
