About the piece
Painted by Cornelius van Poelenburgh around 1630, this delicate oil on copper captures the 'Council of the Gods' in his signature atmospheric style. The scene features a multitude of classical figures, including Jupiter and Juno, resting on ethereal clouds that drift over a serene, distant landscape, showcasing the artist's mastery of light and form typical of the Dutch Golden Age cabinet paintings.
