About the piece
Painted in 1747 by François Boucher, this quintessential Rococo work captures the myth of Europa and the bull with a theatrical, light-filled elegance. The composition is alive with swirling drapery, playful putti, and a soft palette of celestial blues and pearlescent skin tones, exemplifying the decorative grandeur of the 18th-century French court.
