About Artwork: (About 1590) "As punishment for revealing the future to mankind, King Phineas of Thrace was blinded and had his food continually stolen by the harpies, who were half human and half bird. The story is told in the Argonautica, an epic romance written by Apollonius Rhodius during the third century BC. A naked woman points to the sky as Zetes and Calais, the winged sons of Boreas, god of the north wind, put down food as bait to catch the dragon-like harpies. King Phineas stands beside the female figure of Fortune, pointing upward as the young Boreads launch themselves into the air to do battle in the clouds. This painting and Landscape with a Scene of Enchantment (also in the National Gallery’s collection) may once have been part of a series of six or more paintings made to cover the upper walls of an entire room in a Venetian palace." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
