Myths (or history, if you may) speak of the Gods mightily asserting their rule over earth. Some times with mountain shattering fires, sweeping floods, disease and death. Others with awe inspiring beauty and radiance. A few artists have gone far beyond our usually rather modest experience with cosmic upheavals and produced images that convey both the splendid and terrible character of the supremacy from above.
