Wtewael Title The Battle between the Gods and the Giants Place Netherlands (Artist's nationality) Date 1603–1613 Medium Oil on copper Dimensions 15.6 × 20.3 cm (6 1/8 × 8 in.) Credit Line Through prior acquisition of the George F. Status On View, Gallery 213 Department Painting and Sculpture of Europe Artist Joachim Antonisz. The artist’s self-conscious display of his skills was a hallmark of the international style known as Mannerism, which was fashionable in Holland around 1600. The painting’s gemlike effect results from the use of a copper support and from its small scale. The helmeted figure on the right is Minerva, the goddess of wisdom and war. From the clouds, the Olympian gods wield their attributes as weapons: Jupiter hurls thunderbolts Neptune brandishes his triton and Mercury uses his caduceus as a spear. The subject of the victory of the gods of Olympus over the ancient race of giants provided Joachim Wtewael with the opportunity to depict exaggerated athletic poses and striking contrasts of space and light. ![]()
