专家说明

This pair of 'Jupiter' eagle console tables, appropriate for a 'Roman' banqueting hall, recalls the myth Ovid's Metamorphoses of the shepherd Ganymede who was borne aloft by an eagle to serve as Jupiter's attendant at the banquet of the Gods. The pattern may have been invented by Lord Burlington's protégé, the artist architect William Kent (d. 1748), who provided Roman eagles in his illustrations for Alexander Pope's 1725 translation of Homer's Odyssey.
