# Pallas Athene Visits Invidia [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [DUJARDIN, Karel]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Oil on wood, 27 x 21 cm ## Commentary This painting is Dujardin's earliest known history scene painted in the year of his return from France. It was inspired by Parisian painting, particularly paintings by Sébastien Bourdon whose Roman militia scenes are stylistically close to those by Dujardin. The subject of the painting is an episode from Ovid's Metamorphoses, showing the meeting between the armoured Pallas Athene and the hideous Invidia. ## Related artworks - [A Party of Charlatans in an Italian Landscape]() - [Allegory]() - [Calvary]() - [Cows and Sheep at a Stream]() - [Hagar and Ishmael in the Wilderness]() - [Horseman Holding a Roemer]() - [Italian Comedians]() - [Italian Landscape with a Young Shepherd]() - [Italian Landscape with Elegant Riders and Fishermen]() - [Italian Landscape with Herdsman and a Piebald Horse]() - [Italianate Landscape with Travellers on Horseback]() - [Landscape in the Roman Campagna]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
