The Abduction of Europa, Classical painting at Philadelphia Museum of Art, United States
The Abduction of Europa depicts the mythological scene where Zeus, transformed into a white bull, carries away the Phoenician princess across the sea.
Jean-François de Troy completed this painting in 1716 during his early career when he focused on creating mythological works after returning from Italy.
The artwork represents a recurring theme in European art history, portraying the ancient Greek narrative of divine transformation and mortal interaction.
Visitors can find the painting in the European Art section of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which maintains specific exhibition schedules.
The inscription on the tree trunk directly dates the artwork, providing concrete evidence of its creation year rather than relying on historical records.
