EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Jupiter, chief Olympian god of the Roman pantheon" transports us back to ancient times. Created by Pieter Bodart in 1752, this print showcases Jupiter, the powerful ruler of the gods in Roman mythology. In this portrait, Jupiter is depicted with rams horns adorning his head, symbolizing his association with fertility and abundance. As the god of the sky and thunderbolts, he holds a position of great authority and influence within both Roman and Greek mythologies. Known as Zeus in Greek mythology, he was also revered as the husband of Hera/Juno. The intricate details captured by Bodart's copperplate engraving highlight not only Jupiter's divine presence but also his connection to music. The inclusion of musical instruments such as woodwind instruments suggests his role as a patron deity for musicians. This artwork comes from Henricus Spoors' collection titled "Deorum et Heroum" which beautifully illustrates various gods and heroes from antiquity. Published in Amsterdam in 1715, Spoors' work aimed to bring these mythical figures to life through antique images. As we gaze upon this enchanting piece from an early 18th-century perspective on ancient Rome and Greece, it serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with mythology and religion throughout history.
