| dc.description | In this canvas Barry returned to the subject of Jupiter and Juno on Mount Ida, an earlier version of which he had already exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1773, executing a print after it in 1777 (cgjc0770). In this later interpretation Barry looks to Giulio Romano's drawing of Jupiter and Juno as a source. In this instance he far outstrips his model, creating a scene of sublime drama in place of Giulio's flirtatious couple. In a scene from Homer's 'Illiad', Juno is shown seducing Jupiter in order to put him to sleep that she may aid the Greek army unhindered. Its radical close-up focus and sense of a highly constricted space give the painting an emotional impact of almost overwhelming intensity. (Pressly, 142-3) | en |
