The Abduction of Europa (Rembrandt) is a 1632 oil painting on panel by Rembrandt. Dimensions: 62.2 x 77cm Period: Dutch Golden Age Location: J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles.
The Abduction of Europa is one of his rare mythological subject paintings. The work is oil on a single oak panel and now located in the J. Paul Getty Museum.[1] The inspiration for the painting is Ovid's Metamorphoses, part of which tells the tale of Zeus's seduction and capture of Europa. The painting shows a coastal scene with Europa being carried away in rough waters by a bull while her friends remain on shore with expressions of horror. Rembrandt combined his knowledge of classical literature with the interests of the patron in order to create this allegorical work. The use of an ancient myth to impart a contemporary thought and his portrayal of the scene using the High Baroque style are two strong aspects of the work.-
