The Metropolitan Museum of Art's own open-access collection API record for "The Castration of Coelus (Uranus) by his son, Saturn (Cronus)," an etching by Giovanni Battista Galestruzzi, 1640 to 1660, after Polidoro da Caravaggio. The record's own title names both figures outright, glossing the Roman names Coelus and Saturn with their Greek equivalents Uranus and Cronus.
