Jupiter gezoogd door de geit Amalthea Possibly 1786

"Jupiter gezoogd door de geit Amalthea" is a 1786 engraving by Dutch artist Johann Gerard Huck, depicting the mythological scene of the infant god Jupiter being nursed by the goat Amalthea. The artwork features five figures, including Jupiter, Amalthea, and three other mythological beings, suggesting the scene's importance in Greek mythology. Huck's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth and drama to the composition, creating a sense of stillness and reverence. The artwork's detailed inscription further highlights its connection to the original painting it's based on, now housed in the Düsseldorf Gallery, making it a valuable piece for understanding the artistic exchange between different creative periods.
