Study of Jupiter is part of Robert Longo's charcoal drawing series called "The Outward and Visible Signs of an Inward and Invisible Grace (Bodies)," created between 2004 and 2006. This collection portrays planets, stars, and celestial bodies, employing high-resolution images as references for the final drawings. In this particular piece, Longo transforms objects of immense scale into tangible, almost cinematic glimpses into the boundless expanse of the cosmos. As a member of The Pictures Generation, a collective of artists exploring the intersection between reality and construct, Robert Longo investigates the potency of reproduced images.
