Infant Jupiter Fed by the Goat Amalthea 1635

Jacob Jordaens's "Infant Jupiter Fed by the Goat Amalthea" is a large-scale Baroque oil painting depicting a scene from Roman mythology. The painting shows the infant Jupiter being nursed by the goat Amalthea while the satyr, a creature with horns and a human body, watches over the scene. This work, created in 1635, is an example of Jordaens's mastery of color and composition, with a focus on naturalism and realism. Jordaens was a Flemish artist known for his dramatic paintings of mythological scenes and depictions of everyday life. The painting is now housed at the Louvre in Paris.
