Image description

Sébastien Bourdon (Montpellier 1616 – Paris 1671). Oil painting on canvas, The Rape of Europa, by Sébastien Bourdon (Montpellier 1616 – Paris 1671), 1634 -37. The traditional title of this picture, and of others like it is a little misleading: Jupiter fell in love with Europa, daughter of the King of Tyre, and in order to abduct her, he turned into a docile white bull. Once he had lulled her into mounting his back, he bore her across the sea to Crete, where resuming human form, he did rape her. Kingston Lacy Estate, Dorset (Accredited Museum)
