"Gigants" is a fresco by Italian Mannerist artist Giulio Romano. The fresco depicts a scene from Ovid’s *Metamorphoses* where the giants, who have been defeated by Jupiter, are trying to escape the wrath of the gods by hiding in a cave. One giant appears to be grabbing at the curtain of a window as if he is trying to close it and conceal himself from the gods. The fresco is a stunning example of Romano's mastery of perspective and his ability to create a sense of drama and movement. The use of light and shadow also adds to the overall effect of the fresco.
