Jupiter and Callisto
by VOUET, Simon, Tapestry, 353 x 302 cm
This tapestry, woven in Paris or Amiens, is from the series of ‘The Loves of the Gods.’ It is with Jupiter disguised as Diana and Callisto flanked by Cupid and an eagle emblematic of Jupiter, within a wooded landscape and a floral and fruiting border with blue ribbon and biblical medallions and egg-and-dart molding, areas of re-weaving.
It was made after a design of Simon Vouet.
