Jacob Jordaens' "Education of Jupiter" depicts the Roman god Jupiter, as a young boy, being instructed by the satyr Silenus. Jupiter is surrounded by nymphs, one of whom is holding a golden pitcher. The scene is set in a landscape with trees and rocks, with the figures rendered in a characteristically Flemish style. The painting highlights Jordaens' mastery of color and light, and his ability to capture the dynamism of the human figure. The work is currently housed at the Rockox House in Antwerp, Belgium.
