Antonis van Dyck (Antwerpen 1599 - London 1641)
Jupiter und Antiope (ca. 1620)
"Jupiter, disguised in the body of a satyr, made Antiope, the charming daughter of Nycteus, pregnant with twins": that is the cold-blooded account given in the Metamorphoses by the Roman poet Ovid, the "Bible" of classical mythology. Antiope is one of the many sex objects of the supreme deity. The young Anthony van Dyck "he was about twenty years old when he made this painting" chose to depict the moment when Jupiter "discovers" the sleeping Antiope and reveals his intentions. The deity is accompanied by his customary attribute, the eagle.Voyeur scenes such as this have a long and rich tradition. They turn the spectator into an accomplice, a "co-voyeur", as it were. In this youthful work, Van Dyck already displays great skill, but it is also obvious that he is still greatly indebted to his teacher, Rubens. Apparently, it was a great success, because several versions of it have come down to us. The Ghent copy is presumed to be Van Dyck's own work.
