De planeet Jupiter en zijn invloed op de wereld 1585

"De planeet Jupiter en zijn invloed op de wereld" (The Planet Jupiter and its Influence on the World) is an engraving from 1585 by Johann Sadeler I, a prominent German printmaker. This artwork depicts Jupiter, the Roman god of the sky and thunder, riding a chariot pulled by two eagles. The celestial theme is emphasized by the presence of a rainbow and the zodiacal signs of Sagittarius and Pisces. The image symbolizes the power and influence of Jupiter, as a celestial body, on Earth and its inhabitants. Sadeler's engraving reflects the artistic and scientific trends of the late Renaissance, where interest in the cosmos and its influence on human affairs was prominent.
