Jupiter

About this work

This engraving shows a muscular man in armor, holding a club and a shield. His face is stern, and he stands over a group of sleeping figures on the ground. The scene looks chaotic, with scattered rocks and a broken column nearby. The title *Jupiter* hints this might be the Roman king of gods crushing his enemies. The artist used fine lines to build up shadows and texture—notice how the armor and muscles look almost three-dimensional. Next, check out how this was made with engraving.
