"Louis Latapie – The Childhood Of Jupiter, After Jacob Jordaens"
Monumental oil on canvas signed Louis Latapie, painted in 1909 after "The Childhood of Jupiter" by Jacob Jordaens, a master of Flemish Baroque. This academic copy is accompanied by a typewritten text on the back recounting its history: remaining in the artist's family until 1930, the work was restored by Latapie himself in 1959 after being damaged during the war. The mythological scene depicts the young Jupiter being nursed by a nymph and a satyr, in a dynamic and sensual composition. Canvas dimensions: H. 146 cm × W. 200 cm. Dimensions with oak frame: H. 174 cm × W. 228.7 cm. Technique: Oil on canvas | Signed on the back | In need of restoration
