Júpiter y Juno: estudio para un tapiz de la serie «Amores de Júpiter»

ca. 1532–35
Not on view
Discípulo aventajado de Rafael, Perino del Vaga es uno de los artistas más importantes y más influyentes del siglo XVI. Este refinado estudio, que muestra a Júpiter y Juno recostados en una cama, es el diseño para un tapiz, hoy perdido, que formaba parte de la serie Amores de Júpiter, donde se representan los lances románticos clandestinos del rey de los dioses. Encargó la serie Andrea Doria, héroe naval y gobernante de Génova, para quien Perino trabajó a finales de la década de 1520 y durante la década siguiente. Impresionante por su escala monumental, su perfecto acabado y su rica combinación de tinta, aguada y acentos blancos, esta obra es una muestra magistral de las dotes del artista como dibujante.
