DUJARDIN, Karel
(b. 1622, Amsterdam, d. 1678, Venezia)
Pallas Athene Visits Invidia
1652
Oil on wood, 27 x 21 cm
Akademie der bildenden Künste, Vienna
This painting is Dujardin's earliest known history scene painted in the year of his return from France. It was inspired by Parisian painting, particularly paintings by Sébastien Bourdon whose Roman militia scenes are stylistically close to those by Dujardin.
The subject of the painting is an episode from Ovid's Metamorphoses, showing the meeting between the armoured Pallas Athene and the hideous Invidia.
