Verzameling der Goden op de Olympus 1515 - 1565

"Verzameling der Goden op de Olympus" is a 16th-century engraving by Giovanni Jacopo Caraglio, depicting the gathering of the Greek gods on Mount Olympus. The print, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artist's meticulous detail in capturing the figures of the gods and goddesses in their iconic attributes, like Neptune with his trident. The intricate rendering of the clouds and the atmospheric background adds depth to the composition, bringing the scene of the Olympian gods to life. This artwork is a testament to Caraglio's mastery of engraving and provides a glimpse into the artistic appreciation of classical mythology during the Renaissance.
