Located in the Palazzo Ducale & Museo in Mantua, Lombardy, Italy, this exquisite fresco transports viewers to the realm of ancient mythology. In this Renaissance masterpiece, Viani skillfully depicts an array of gods and goddesses from Greek and Roman mythology. Poseidon, god of the sea, stands tall with his trident while Hercules flexes his mighty muscles nearby.

Mercury gracefully floats through the scene with wings on his helmet and sandals, symbolizing speed and communication.

Saturn presides over them all with wisdom etched upon his face while Diana embodies her role as both moon goddess and huntress. Ceres represents fertility and abundance while Mars personifies warlike strength. Every detail within this painting reflects Viani's mastery of technique as he brings these mythological figures to life.
