The Olympian Gods is a series of wall paintings situated in the Heaven Room at Burghley House, created by Antonio Verrio circa 1695-96. Spanning a large part of the Heaven Room, these paintings convey an elaborate representation of classical mythology, featuring numerous Olympian deities including Zeus, Apollo, and Athena.

Verrio, an Italian painter commonly associated with the Baroque period, was active in the late 17th century and is celebrated for his work in England where he painted frescoes and ceiling paintings in various palatial residences. The Olympian Gods serves as an iconic example of his artistic style, characterized by dynamic composition, strong color contrast, and intricate detailing.

The series essentially acts as an immersive visual narrative. Verrio has used allegorical elements to depict the divine hierarchy of the Olympian Gods, thereby reflecting the prevailing interest in classical antiquity during the late Stuart era in England.

The overarching theme of divine might and supremacy embodied by the Olympian Gods likely served to mirror the belief in the divine right of kings. This connection would have distinctly resonated with the original patrons of Burghley House, who were prominent figures within the English aristocracy. Thus, in addition to embodying Verrio's artistic expertise, the Olympian Gods provides significant insight into the socio-political ideology of the late 17th century nobility.

The frescoes have been well-preserved and continue to attract the admiration of art enthusiasts and historians alike. The Heaven Room, housing the Olympian Gods, stands as a testament to Verrio's impact on the English decoration traditions of the late 17th and early 18th centuries, as well as his role in the proliferation of Baroque-style painting in England.
