The scene depicted is the visit of Minerva to the Muses on Mount Helicon, mentioned by Ovid in his Fifth Book of the Metamorphoses (Met. V. 250–268). This was a sacred place for the Muses as it was the source of the two springs called Aganippe and Hippocrene, which are visible here in the background.
At least two further versions of this composition by König are recorded, all with small variations and unlike the present panel, on copper; one (20 x 29.5 cm.) in the Hessische Landesmuseum, Darmstadt, recorded as being signed and dated 1619;1 the second (19.5 x 28.6 cm.), formerly in the collection of Dr. Hinrich Bischoff, signed and dated 1624, was sold London, Sotheby's, 6 December 2006, lot 3. All three date from König's time in Augsburg. There is perhaps also a larger, lost version, evidence of which appears in an anonymous painting of circa 1645 of a gallery interior, the so-called Bronckorster Galeriebild, in the collection of the Fürsten zu Salm at Schloss Anholt.2
