Giulio Romano (c. 1499 – 1 November 1546) was an Italian painter and architect. A pupil of Raphael, his stylistic deviations from high Renaissance classicism help define the 16th-century style known as Mannerism. Giulio's drawings have long been treasured by collectors; contemporary prints of them engraved by Marcantonio Raimondi were a significant contribution to the spread of 16th-century Italian style throughout Europe.

The nine muses of Greek mythology represent the arts: epic poetry, history, love poetry, song, tragedy, hymns, dance, comedy, and astronomy. The puzzle is a detail of the painting with the underlying text removed.
