EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the neoclassical sculpture titled "Jupiter striking the Titans with lightning" created by Filippo Tagliolini between 1800 and 1812. The porcelain masterpiece is housed in the Museo di Capodimonte, located in Naples, Campania, Italy. In this mythological scene, Jupiter, the god of thunder and sky, unleashes his mighty power upon the formidable Titans. With a menacing expression on his face and a bolt of forked lightning in hand, he confronts these ancient beings in an epic battle. The ceramic artwork beautifully captures their intense clash. Beyond its artistic value, this piece also alludes to meteorology and weather phenomena as Jupiter's lightning bolt symbolizes nature's raw power. It serves as a reminder of how scientific methods have evolved over time to explain such natural occurrences. The image invites us to delve into ancient myths and explore paganism - a polytheistic religion that predates modern monotheism. It offers a glimpse into humanity's religious past while showcasing the skillful craftsmanship of Tagliolini. As we admire this remarkable work through Bridgeman Images' lens, let us appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and its ability to transport us back in time to an era where mythology intertwined with daily life.
