Colescott appears in his artwork often, beginning in the 1970s, as an onlooker peering through windows, in the guise of various racial stereotypes (a crow, for example), or as a character either replacing an original figure in or a new character inserted into a reinterpreted masterwork. In All is Right, Colescott has cast himself in the role of Jupiter (Zeus) in Jean-Auguste-Dominic Ingres’ neoclassical painting Jupiter and Thetis (1811). The nymph Thetis is replaced by buxom centurions. All is Right is related to a large acrylic painting titled ¡OH BYZANTiUM OH! (1978) and a small number of other works on paper exploring the same Ingres painting.
