This scene corresponds to that painted on one of the two short walls, above the entrance to the grand Galleria.\n\nIt shows Minerva, goddess of wisdom and crafts, entrusting the key of knowledge to a seated figure representing Intellect and a hammer to the kneeling figure of Craftsmanship. Minerva is accompanied by the messenger god, Mercury, while the naked figure of Truth kneels beside her. To the left is the she-wolf that, according to legend, suckled the infants Romulus and Remus, founders of Rome. In the background is probably Amphion, one of the founders of the ancient Greek city of Thebes, also known for his musicianship. He is playing a viol so beautifully that he has attracted a flock of birds.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/luca-giordano-minerva-as-protectress-of-the-arts-and-sciences\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London -
