1652
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Jupiter Nourished by the Goat Almathea is a 1652 by Jacob Jordaens, a Baroque work, depicting Satyr, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
Here’s the rewritten description: This painting shows a chubby baby Jupiter being fed by a goat. The goat stands on a rock while Jupiter holds its udder. A woman in a plain dress watches nearby. Jordaens often painted big, lively scenes like this one. The colors feel warm and rich, with lots of reds and golds. The baby’s pose looks playful, not serious. The goat’s fur is painted thickly, almost like paste. Look for that rough texture. Door: artist Jacob Jordaens (Flemish, 1593–1678)
Jacques (Jacob) Jordaens (19 May 1593 – 18 October 1678) was a Flemish painter, draughtsman and a designer of tapestries and prints.
