About this work
Saturn, with his sickle and hourglass, is seated in the middle foreground. His wife, Rhea, is at the far right. With their sons Jupiter (god of the sky), Pluto (lord of the underworld) and Neptune (god of the sea) and other mythological deities, they sit down to a banquet that can hardly be called festive. The drawing is a design for a silver plaque of 1604, on view in Gallery 2.3.
