ZEUS PERIPHAS TE
A magnificent figure from Alexandros Models, Zeus along with his eagle gazes down on to the humans, holding his ever powerful thunder. Painted with acrylics, with reference to the 'Jupiter and Thetis' 1811 painting by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, I chose a red garment and black hair instead of the white/blue combination of the original box art. It won me the 2012 Best Greek and Best of Master Painting awards in the 2012 Star Club Athens Show. The base is an actual piece of marble with a freehand tapestry painted. All comments welcome.
