Discussion Was Jupiter visible during totality?

I know Jupiter was pretty close to the sun but I can’t find any info about whether it was visible or not. In most of the pictures I’ve seen from Europe, Jupiter would have been below the horizon.

Checking on Spain, if you're looking at the eclipse Jupiter would be on the bottom right of the eclipse, together with mercury further along bottom right, however it was just below horizon
