Description
Oil on Canvas (120x90cm)
This scene of Jupiter and Io was inspired by Ovid's classic Metamorphoses. Io, daughter of Inachus, the first king of Argos, is seduced by Jupiter (Zeus), who hides behind the dunes to avoid hurting the jealous Juno (Hera).
Jupiter was often tempted by other women and took on various disguises in order to cover his various escapades. One time taking the form of a swan, another time of an eagle, and in this painting he is not becoming something else so much as enveloping himself in a dark cloud.
I tried to paint this in the style, roughly similar to Venetian High Renaissance art.

This is absolutely stunning. Put me in mind of Allegri, which I suppose is the idea.
