Jupiter met sterrenbeelden Boogschutter en Vissen 1539

Sebald Beham's "Jupiter met sterrenbeelden Boogschutter en Vissen" (1539) is a small, detailed engraving that depicts the Roman god Jupiter, standing with a sword and helmet, surrounded by imagery of the zodiac constellations Sagittarius and Pisces. This intricate artwork exemplifies the meticulous detail characteristic of Beham's engravings, known for their fine lines and precise rendering of figures. The print, now in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artist's understanding of classical mythology and astronomical symbolism.
