This hand-coloured engraving, titled "War of the Giants against Jove or I Giganti Fulminati da Giove, Book I" is a visual masterpiece that brings to life the epic battle between gods and giants. Created by Luigi Ademollo in 1832, this illustration is based on Ovid's Metamorphoses. In this scene, we witness the clash of titans as Jove, also known as Jupiter, the mighty king of the gods, confronts a horde of fearsome giants. With his thunderbolt in hand and his power to transform at will, Jove stands tall amidst chaos and destruction. The air crackles with energy as lightning bolts are hurled through the sky. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print. From the muscular bodies of both gods and giants to their intense expressions filled with determination and fury – it all adds an extra layer of realism to this mythical confrontation.
