About this work
Jupiter rides in his chariot through the sky, drawn by two peacocks. The signs of Sagittarius and Pisces indicate which people belong to the sphere of influence of Jupiter. People born under this zodiac sign are secular or ecclesiastical rulers. An emperor is crowned by the pope, surrounded by cardinals and bishops. On the left, a judge sits on his throne. In the background, hunting takes place. At the bottom of the margin, a text in Latin about the children of Jupiter.
