EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Plate 3 of Giovanni Jacopo Caraglio's series of mythological gods and goddesses, created in 1526. In this particular plate, we witness the majestic emergence of Jupiter from a niche, mounted on the back of a powerful eagle. The Roman deity holds a thunderbolt firmly in his left hand, symbolizing his authority over weather and thunder. Caraglio's intricate engraving technique brings to life the mythical figure of Jupiter with remarkable detail. His mastery is evident in every stroke that captures the strength and gracefulness of both man and bird. The contrast between white and black adds depth to the composition, enhancing its visual impact. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to ancient times when mythology played an integral role in people's lives. It reminds us of humanity's fascination with divine beings who governed various aspects of existence. Through Caraglio's work, we can appreciate not only his artistic talent but also gain insight into Italian culture during the 16th century. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a testament to our rich heritage and offers viewers an opportunity to delve into Roman mythology while marveling at Caraglio's skillful interpretation.
