The kidnapping of Europa, Bronze sculpture group at Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas Airport, Spain.
The large bronze sculpture depicts Europa sitting on a bull, representing Botero's interpretation of classical mythology through volumetric forms and rounded shapes.
Fernando Botero created this bronze sculpture in 1992 as part of a series of three editions, with this particular piece being number two in the collection.
The sculpture presents a transformation of the Greek mythological narrative into contemporary art, reflecting Latin American interpretations of European classical themes.
Visitors can find this monumental bronze sculpture in Terminal 4 of Madrid-Barajas Airport, where it stands as a central artistic element.
The sculpture measures 124 by 83 by 72 inches and features a dark brown patina that has developed specific characteristics from its outdoor placement.
