The Statue of Jupiter located in the Hermitage Museum is a colossal sculpture of the supreme ancient god Jupiter, created by an unknown Roman master at the end of the 1st century AD. The sculpture is one of the most famous exhibits of the museum. The statue of Jupiter is also a significant monument of the Flavian era, bearing the characteristic features of Roman art of this period. The prototype of this sculpture was created by Phidias in the 5th century BC, the legendary statue of Zeus at Olympia, revered as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It was made for the temple of the supreme god - the central religious building of the Ancient Olympic Games. Found at the end of the 19th century in the Villa of Domitian, the statue of Jupiter ended up in the collection of the Marquis Giampietro Campana. After the ruin of the Marquis, the sculpture was bought by Emperor Alexander II and delivered to the Hermitage in 1861.
