Antonio Allegri Da Correggio - Oil

Jupiter and Io (c. 1530) is a painting by Antonio Allegri da Correggio. The painting was created as a companion piece to the Ganymede Abducted by the Eagle, also in the Kunsthistorisches Museum. The two pictures, along with another pair, were probably intended to decorate the Ovid Room in the Palazzo Te for Federico II Gonzaga of Mantua
however, they were presented as a gift to Emperor Charles V, and subsequently the cycle was dispersed outside Italy. The scene of Jupiter and Io is inspired by Ovid's classic Metamorphoses. Io, daughter of the first king of Argos Inachus, is seduced by Jupiter (Zeus in Greek), who hides behind the dunes to avoid hurting the jealous Juno (Hera in Greek). It is housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum of Vienna, Austria.
