JUPITER REBUKED BY VENUS (APHRODITE)

"Jupiter Rebuked by Venus" (see related A | B), 1612 Abraham Janssens (1573-1632) Art Institute, Chicago, Illinois

This scene may suggest that Zeus may have spanked Cupid for shooting his "love" arrows indiscriminately, which made even Zeus at risk of becoming a victim of unsolicited and unwelcome feelings of lust.

Note that Janssens competed with his Flemish compatriot Reubens in the production of large scale paintings using ideas from classic mythology.
