EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by the renowned Italian artist Antonio Tempesta, titled "The Statue of Jupiter at Olympia," was published in 1610 as part of the series "The Seven Wonders of the World." The image showcases the ancient Greek statue of Jupiter, the king of the gods in Greek mythology and the Roman equivalent, Jove, who was believed to be the god of the sky and thunder. The statue, which is depicted here in black and white, was originally located in Olympia, Greece, the site of the ancient Olympic Games. Tempesta masterfully captures the grandeur and power of the deity, as Jupiter is shown standing tall and proud, with muscular arms raised high, holding a lightning bolt in his right hand and a scepter in his left. The statue is surrounded by columns and pillars, reminiscent of the ancient Greek and Roman architecture. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate lettering and ornate decorations adorning the columns. The image is a fascinating depiction of the cultural heritage of ancient Greece and Rome, which continued to influence European art and literature throughout the Baroque era and beyond. Today, this etching is a cherished addition to the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is displayed as a testament to the enduring legacy of classical art and mythology.
