The Float of Mount Parnassus is a 1616 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a lively scene with many people and a large rock formation. The people are dressed in old-fashioned clothing and are gathered around the rock, which has a tree growing out of it. Some of them are standing on the rock, while others are standing on the ground below. In the background, there is a body of water that stretches out to the horizon. The overall mood of the painting is one of joy and celebration. The artist, Jacques Callot, was a master of the Baroque style, and this painting is a great example of his work.
