About the piece

Created around 1620, this painting by Anthony van Dyck captures the mythological moment when Jupiter, disguised as a satyr, approaches the sleeping Antiope. The work is a powerful example of the Baroque style, characterized by intense contrast between the fair, luminous skin of the reclining figure and the dark, muscular form of the satyr, all set against a brooding, atmospheric landscape.
