Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres – Jupiter and Thetis (1811)

Click image for an even mightier Jupiter.

What a monumental moment – although Jupiter (the Roman version of Zeus) looks a bit like wearing a wig? I love Ingres for his dramatic and powerful style. His creations have the same quality like movies – Ben Hur and the like.

You feel like being in the presence of Jupiter – almost touching that godly aura of his. And just in case you are wondering who Thetis is … visit this Wikipedia entry.
