Vénus, Flore, Hébé ou Diane - autant de divinités antiques qui ont prêté, à partir de la fin du XVIIe siècle en France, leurs attributs et leurs costumes vaporeux, souvent affriolants, à quantité de femmes de l'aristocratie de cour, de la bourgeoisie montante et de la noblesse de robe. L'élite sociale se fait alors peindre en costume mythologique ou historique par des artistes célèbres tels que Nicolas de Largillierre, Hyacinthe Rigaud, François de Troy, Jean-Marc Nattier ou Jean Raoux. Ces portraits dits "historiés" , dans lesquels l'effigie d'une personne vivante s'enrichit d'attributs mythologiques comme dans un tableau d'histoire, sont un genre pictural à part entière. D'abord prérogative masculine adoptée par les grands pour célébrer leurs vertus, il devient vers 1680 l'apanage des modèles féminins : le langage allégorique les pare de qualités à connotation spécifiquement féminine et galante, comme la beauté, la jeunesse, la grâce, qui, bien comprises, pouvaient aussi être un moyen de manier le pouvoir.

From Mythos to Logos : Andrea Palladio, Freemasonry and the Triumph of Minerva explores how myth was used to encode architecture and frescoed interiors with insights that promote peace, freedom and kindness as ways of being in the world. The author, Michael Trevor Coughlin argues that Freemasonry took root in the Italian city of Vicenza as early as 1546, and that its precepts, conveyed through the intersection of myth and philosophy, were disseminated widely in buildings and images, as well as texts, prescribing tolerance and an understanding of the divine that exists in each and everyone.
