Ontwerp voor een plafond met het huwelijk van Jupiter en Juno c. 1748 - 1795

This watercolor drawing by Petrus Norbertus van Reysschoot, titled "Ontwerp voor een plafond met het huwelijk van Jupiter en Juno", depicts a scene from Roman mythology: the marriage of Jupiter and Juno. The design, created between 1748 and 1795, features the central figures of Jupiter and Juno seated on clouds surrounded by cherubs and other figures playing music. The drawing's delicate brushstrokes and pale color palette create a sense of heavenly lightness, a characteristic of Van Reysschoot's artistic style. The design reflects the artist's interest in classical mythology and his skill in creating dynamic and imaginative compositions.
