Johann Cristoph Weigel (1654-1725) - Il concilio degli Dei

Original engraving from the late 1600s or early 1700s, published and probably engraved by Johann Cristoph Weigel (1654-1725), a German engraver, publisher, and art dealer. The engraving depicts the moment when Jupiter summons the gods to discuss the impiety and corruption of humankind, particularly the sacrilegious act of King Lycaon. This theme is taken from the first book of Ovid's Metamorphoses.
The print is mounted on a rigid support; however, it is still possible to see the flaws that indicate the craftsmanship and antiquity of the print, as well as an unidentified watermark.
The sheet is in excellent condition and measures approximately 29x38.5 cm.
If requested, it is possible to add a modern frame with a passe-partout to the order free of charge, in which to place the engraving.
