Jupiter, in de gedaante van een stier, voert Europa op zijn rug mee door de zee. In de lucht zweven putti. De dienstmaagden van Europa staan op de kust.
About the Artist
Simone Cantarini · 1612–1648
He was one of the most eminent pupils of Guido Reni and one of the most gifted engravers in the tradition of the Carracci. He had a strong personality and developed a highly original style, which united aspects of Bolognese classicism with a bold naturalism. Comment on works: Religious
