Jupiter et Junon : étude pour les tapisseries de la série Les amours de Jupiter

ca. 1532–35
Not on view
Élève doué de Raphaël, Perino del Vaga figure parmi les artistes les plus importants et les plus influents du XVIe siècle. Cette étude raffinée, qui montre Jupiter et Junon alanguis sur un lit, est un carton réalisé en vue d’une tapisserie aujourd’hui perdue, de la série Les Amours de Jupiter, qui illustre les rendez-vous galants et clandestins du dieu. Les tapisseries avaient été commandées par Andrea Doria, héros naval et chef de la République de Gênes, pour qui Perino travailla de la fin des années 1520 aux années 1530. Remarquable par ses dimensions monumentales, sa finition parfaite et la riche combinaison de l’encre, du lavis et des rehauts de blanc, le dessin est une démonstration magistrale des talents de dessinateur de l’artiste.
