Description
The painting depicts the Greek god Zeus in the form of a white bull abducting Europa, a Phoenician princess. The composition is filled with dynamic movement as Europa's body is pulled away from her entourage by the powerful bull. Set against a blue sky and seascape, she appears to be resigned to her fate as she looks back towards them in despair.
