About the piece
Painted in 1889, Gustave Moreau’s Jupiter and Semele is a pinnacle of Symbolist art. The work depicts the moment of divine revelation where the god Jupiter reveals his true form to his lover Semele, surrounded by a dizzying array of mythological figures, architectural ornaments, and celestial symbols in a rich, jewel-toned palette.
