Giulio Carpioni
(Venice 1613–1678)
The Myth of Latona,
oil on canvas, 58 x 79 cm, framed
We are grateful to Bernard Aikema for confirming the attribution after examining the painting in the original.
The iconography derives from an episode of the Metamorphoses by Ovid, in which Latona, mother of Apollo and Diana and mistress of Jupiter, was forced to flee owing to the jealousy of her rival Juno. One day, after arriving in present-day Turkey, she approached a pool in a marsh to drink the water. Local peasants prevented her and in her fury she cursed them which changed them into frogs.
The present painting is a typical work by the artist and can be compared with the Bacchanal in Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid (inv. 83.1979.20).
