AimeeMaroux, It's the Day of Zeus / Jupiter's Day / #Thursday! ⚡
The inspiration for this sculpture of #Jupiter was the monumental gold and ivory statue of #Zeus created by the Greek sculptor Pheidias (active 470-420 BCE) for Zeus's temple at #Olympia. It was renowned in antiquity as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and numerous sculptors copied it.
