EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto" painted by the renowned artist Michelangelo Caravaggio in approximately 1597. The artwork can be found in the esteemed collection of Villa Ludovisi, Rome. In this baroque painting, Caravaggio skillfully brings to life three powerful figures from Roman and Greek mythology: Jupiter (Zeus), Neptune (Poseidon), and Pluto (Hades). Each god is depicted with distinct characteristics that symbolize their dominion over different realms. Jupiter, the king of gods, exudes authority and wisdom as he holds a thunderbolt. Neptune, god of the sea, stands tall with his trident while accompanied by a merman representing his domain's creatures. Lastly, Pluto reigns over the underworld surrounded by a satyr and Triton. Caravaggio's attention to detail is evident in this fresco secco artwork; every brushstroke captures not only these mythological deities but also their personalities and roles within classical mythology. The composition beautifully merges allegory with literature as it transports viewers into an enchanting world where gods rule supreme. This stunning piece exemplifies Caravaggio's mastery of light and shadow techniques that became synonymous with his artistic style during the Roman School period. It serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of Italy's most celebrated painters from the Baroque era.
