Lycaon Transformed into a Wolf

Jupiter sits at a table to the left, gesturing with authority, while Lycaon, already sporting a wolf's head, flees toward the right as his palace is engulfed in flames. The room is filled with classical architectural details, and a servant stands at the table preparing a meal, unaware of the impending transformation.

This scene represents the theme of the 'bestial transformation' of man, a common cautionary trope in Renaissance humanism and Ovidian philosophy regarding the loss of divine reason and the descent into animalistic passions.
