About the piece
Created around 1750, this work by Francesco Zuccarelli captures the mythological tale of Europa with the light, airy touch characteristic of the Venetian Rococo. The scene is set within a vast, idyllic landscape where Europa is carried across the water by Jupiter in the guise of a white bull, surrounded by playful putti and her concerned attendants on the riverbank.
