About this work

Great symbolic representation. Procession of goddesses with a central figure holding a chain, in the sky presided over by Jupiter, who sits amidst other gods on the clouds. Or: to Pictura (?) a chain is handed out by the gods, while on earth a herald is proclaimed. Fama proclaims her fame.
