This gallery is about the sculptures and paintings of Zeus and Jupiter with his features of a powerful god.
Bronze figure of Jupiter, 100/199, From the collection of: British Museum
Here we see the Roman Jupiter in a pose of power with the left fist raised in the air. Many of Jupiter's sculpture feature him in a power pose. The other main feature of him is his large facial hair.
Head of Jupiter, unknown, 0 AD - 100 AD, From the collection of: Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien
The bushy mustache and large curly beard give us the biggest clues for this sculpture to be representative of Jupiter.
Statue of Jupiter, Unknown, Ancient Rome. End of 1st century, From the collection of: The State Hermitage Museum
Once again, we see Jupiter in a power pose. This time he wields a staff in his left arm. One main thing to notice is the eagle that stands beside of Jupiter. Many sculpture feature the eagle and ram.
Enthroned Zeus, about 100 B.C., From the collection of: The J. Paul Getty Museum
Here is Zeus in a power pose with his right arm raised in the air. Many of the sculptures assume that he has lightning in his clenched fists.
Zeus, thunderbearer, Unknown, -470/-460, From the collection of: Altes Museum, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin
Here we see Zeus in a pose where he appears to be ready to launch a lighting strike at a certain location. This shows the power of Jupiter to cause havoc on the world.
Jupiter and Io, Antonio Allegri, called Correggio, 1520/1540, From the collection of: Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien
This image depicts Jupiter in a very subtle way. He grasps a woman with the storm that he forms, and you can see a figure reaching out to kiss the seduced woman through the the clouds.
Here is Jupiter with his fist raised with lightning in it. We also see the eagle that stands by him in his throne.
Jupiter, Artus Quellinus, 1650 - 1654, From the collection of: Royal Palace Amsterdam

This is a sculpture of Jupiter's head. We can see the standard hair on Jupiters head and face that are used throughout many sculptures. It features a curly top and beard with a bushy mustache.
Jupiter Enthroned, Heinrich Friedrich Füger, turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, From the collection of: Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest
