Flemish Tapestry - Middle of 17th Century - History of the High Gods - N° 1354
About the Item
Cartouche at the top edge: Cybele, goddess of the earth, daughter of the sky, steals from Saturn their son Jupiter through Janus, God of peace.
Border with double column frame and double cartridge surrounded by garlands of polychrome fruits and flowers.
Note: Taken from an episode in the history of the High Gods: Cybele is a divinity of Phrygian origin, adopted first by the Greeks then by the Romans, personifying wild nature. She is presented as “Magna Mater”, Great Goddess, Mother Goddess or even Mother of the Gods. She is the wife of Saturn. Having heard a prophecy from Janus (Roman god of beginnings and endings, choices, passage and doors) predicting that one of his children would dethrone him, Saturn swallowed his children. Cybele notably succeeds in saving Jupiter, by replacing him with large stones. Later, Jupiter defeats his father and forces him to spit out his siblings.
