The Abduction of Europa
The Abduction of Europa is a 1632 oil-on-panel painting by Rembrandt. One of his rare mythological works, it was inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses, part of which tells the tale of Zeus's seduction and capture of Europa. The painting shows a coastal scene with Europa being carried away in rough waters by Zeus in the form of a bull while her friends remain on shore with expressions of horror. The use of an ancient myth to impart a contemporary thought and his portrayal of the scene using the High Baroque style are two strong aspects of the work. It was also influenced by Titian's painting of the same subject 70 years earlier, although there are significant differences; Rembrandt's painting is less violent in nature than Titian's. The Abduction of Europa is now in the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum in New York City.Painting credit: Rembrandt

Hi, my legal name is Leland Bryant Ross, but in Japanese and Esperanto I go by (ROS') Haruo, and since my Wikipedia activity is mostly in Esperanto that's the handle I use here.

Haruo (春男) is a common Japanese male given name; means "Spring Man" if you take the characters at face value.

My homepage (External link) is La Lilandejo.
