Masterpiece…

Τῡφωνομᾰχία —or the "War of the Typhon"
is a story from Greek antiquity in which, following a titanic battle between the gods and the Titans, a monstrous serpentine creature emerges from the fires of the Underworld and Mother Earth (Tartarus and Gaia). This monster, named Typhon—after whom massive cyclones are still named—represented the final obstacle for the supreme god Zeus in establishing peace across the universe.

In this latest painting by Pepijn Suurmeijer, which he called his ‘Masterpiece’, Zeus is depicted driving the serpent-monster Typhon back into the fires of the underworld using a thunderbolt forged by the Cyclopes.
The painting draws inspiration from the Neoclassical style and is based on the writings of the 7th-century BC Greek author Hesiod.

The frame was also crafted by Pepijn and the inscription upon it is a quote from the Theogony, a Greek text by Hesiod.
