Litigium removed from the body of Chaos while his mother is thrown into the air, set within a frame, from "Loves, Rages and Jealousies of Juno" 1531 - 1576

"Litigium removed from the body of Chaos while his mother is thrown into the air, set within a frame, from 'Loves, Rages and Jealousies of Juno'" is an etching by Italian artist Giulio Bonasone (1510-1576) from a series portraying mythological tales relating to the Roman goddess Juno. In this print, Litigium, the personification of strife, is lifted from the body of Chaos, depicted as a male figure lying on a cloud, by a figure representing strength and wielding a hammer. The figure of Juno stands majestically at right, while a reclining figure in the left corner represents the Earth, adding a narrative complexity to the scene. This piece showcases the detailed and expressive style of Bonasone's engravings, employing intricate hatching and cross-hatching techniques to create a sense of depth and drama.
