About the piece
This 1742 oil painting by Jean-François de Troy captures the high drama of classical myth with the fluid, luminous style of the Rococo period. Jason, adorned in a vibrant blue cape and plumed helmet, pledges his love to Medea in a secluded glade, while winged cupids hover above and a statue of Diana presides over the scene. The work is characterized by its sophisticated play of light and shadow, with the figures emerging brightly from a dense, moody background of deep greens and earthy tones.
