About the piece

This 1615 oil painting from the Southern Netherlands captures a 'Banquet of the Gods,' a popular theme in Baroque art. Seated within a shadowed cave that opens onto a bright seascape, figures such as Mercury and Bacchus are shown in a moment of conviviality, rendered with the warm, luminous tones and fluid brushwork characteristic of the period's Flemish influence.
