"Jupiter Nourished by the Nymphs and Coryphantes in the Isle of Crete" is an etching created by Etienne Picart around 1690. The artwork depicts the Greek myth of Jupiter's upbringing on the island of Crete by nymphs. The detailed etching captures the moment where the nymphs and Coryphantes are tending to the young Jupiter, while a goat, symbolizing the mythical goat Amalthea, provides sustenance. The composition utilizes a classic Renaissance perspective, with the figures arranged in a balanced yet dynamic pose. The work showcases Picart's mastery of line and detail, creating a visually engaging and historically significant piece.
