Jupiter og Juno sidder i kærlig omfavnelse, imellem dem står ørnen, trædende på tordenkilen, til venstre tænder en vinget genius sin fakkel hos en anden, og oven over disse svæver påfuglen ned. I baggrunden et landskab/ Ida bjerget/. 1640 - 1677

Heinrich Dittmers' "Jupiter og Juno sidder i kærlig omfavnelse" (1640-1677) is a miniature painting depicting the Roman deities Jupiter and Juno embracing. The work is characterized by vibrant colors and detailed figures, with the central figures of Jupiter and Juno surrounded by a cast of winged figures and symbols, including an eagle, a peacock, and a burning torch. The background suggests a landscape setting, possibly representing Mount Ida, a significant location in Roman mythology. The intimate scale of the painting, measuring just 195 mm x 228 mm, emphasizes the personal and intimate nature of the scene. The painting is a fine example of Dittmers' skill as a miniature artist, known for his delicate brushwork and ability to convey detail within a small format. This work, now part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases the artist's talent for capturing the essence of a mythological tale in a visually compelling manner.
