GIULIO ROMANO. Jupiter Hurling a Thunderbolt

Jupiter Hurling a Thunderbolt. Artist: Giulio Romano (Italian, Rome 1499?-1546 Mantua). Dimensions: 6 5/8 x 7 5/8 in.  (16.8 x 19.3 cm). Date: 1530-37.
Dazzling for its energy and economy of means, this quickly drawn pen study was preparatory for a figure in one of the great milestones of Mannerism in Italy, the monumental illusionistic frescoes in the "Sala dei Giganti" (Room of the Giants), from 1531-34, at the Palazzo Te in Mantua. The precocious Giulio trained in Raphael's workshop and soon became a significant collaborator with the master, achieving international stature in his own right after 1520. He built and decorated the Palazzo Te for Federico II Gonzaga (1500-1540), the fifth marchese and first duke of Mantua, where Giulio settled as court artist from 1524 until his death.
