Jupiter met zijn adelaar aan zijn voeten 1528 - 1583

This small oval print by Etienne Delaune depicts Jupiter, the Roman god of sky and thunder, standing on an eagle with his hand raised as he holds a scepter. His nude body is surrounded by decorative flourishes, including a cherub, squirrels, and two other figures peering from the top. The artist's signature is visible at the bottom, along with the inscription "Cum privilegio Regis Stephanus fecit." The print exemplifies Delaune's mastery of the Renaissance style, combining classical mythology with intricate ornamentation. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is apparent in the intricate patterns and figures. The print is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and is considered a significant example of Delaune's work in the genre of decorative prints.
