# Jupiter and Juno [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [CARRACCI, Annibale]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Fresco ## Commentary The paintings in the Galleria Farnese are erotic, in the broadest sense of the word, for the overarching theme of the scenes is the omnipotence of love, 'omnia vincit amor' \(love conquers all\), as expressed by Virgil in the Eclogues. Everybody succumbs to love. Jupiter, the father of the gods, who allows himself to be kept from intervening in the Trojan War, is distracted by the seductive charms of Juno. ## Related artworks - [A Sea God Abducts a Woman \(detail\)]() - [A Sea God Abducts a Woman]() - [Assumption of the Virgin Mary]() - [Assumption of the Virgin]() - [Atlante]() - [Butcher's Shop \(detail\)]() - [Butcher's Shop]() - [Ceiling fresco]() - [Ceiling fresco]() - [Ceiling fresco]() - [Cephalus and Aurora]() - [Christ and the Woman of Samaria]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
