Mati is planning to paint a mural on the wall of their house when Dada arrives speaking in rhyme. They are transported to the studio of Italian artist Raphael who shows them his fresco celebrating poets. He first sketched the mural of Apollo, god of the poets, and the nine muses for his painting ‘The Parnassus’, studying the costumes and musical instruments of the time. Then he traced it onto the Vatican palace wall for painting. Balance, shape, and harmony are important in the design of his art works. Dada persuades muse Thalia to return to her place in the mural.
