The Dispute between Jupiter and Juno is a 1615 ink by Hendrik Goltzius, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows two seated figures in a rocky, cloud-filled scene. The man on the left has a long beard and rests his hand on the woman’s shoulder, who wears a crown and holds a scepter. Around them, small figures float or stand on clouds, while a table below holds a globe and other objects. The background swirls with dramatic sky and tiny putti. The woman’s crown and the globe suggest power and the heavens. The text at the bottom hints at a story between gods—likely Jupiter and Juno—arguing over something important. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like Goltzius carved intricate details into metal plates.
