This drawing by Salvator Rosa, titled “The Nurturing of Jupiter,” depicts a scene from Roman mythology. A young Jupiter, the king of the gods, is being cared for by nymphs, with one nymph holding him aloft. This piece is a preparatory drawing for Rosa’s large-scale painting of the same subject, showcasing the artist's mastery of line and composition. Created with brown ink on paper, the drawing is characterized by a dynamic composition and expressive figures. This sketch is now a part of The Art Institute of Chicago's permanent collection.
