Parnassvs is a 1601 Latin emblem-style book of the nine Muses and attendant deities, produced at Frankfurt by Jean Jacques Boissard and the de Bry family, with Latin verses for learned readers. Its engravings show draped classical women standing in stylized gardens, each holding an attribute, and a designer might take their static poses, flowing drapery and sparse botanical borders as models for classical figure studies.
