Jupiter and Semele 

This drawing by Venetian artist Gaspare Diziani depicts the mythological tale of Jupiter and Semele. Semele lies on a bed in the foreground, while Jupiter, in the form of a winged figure, ascends to the heavens. The dynamic composition and expressive lines capture the dramatic moment of Semele's demise, highlighting the tension between earthly desires and divine power. The drawing's sketchy style and use of brown ink suggest a preparatory study for a larger painting. This artwork is part of the Städel Museum's collection, representing a significant piece of Diziani's work.
