Jupiter on his Throne 1547

This engraving by Léon Davent, a French artist who worked during the 16th century, depicts Jupiter, the king of the gods in Roman mythology, on his throne. Created in 1547, it is a complex composition featuring a variety of figures, including other deities and mortals. The intricate details and the use of hatching and cross-hatching to create depth and volume contribute to the artwork's realism. This artwork is a fascinating example of the Renaissance period's interest in classical mythology and is a great resource for studying Roman mythology and artistic techniques of the time.
