The Rapt of Europe

Artwork from Emmanuel

Hi everyone,

In the ancient Greek mythology, the princess Europe were sitting on a beach, Zeus disguised as a bull come close to her, and rapt her through Island of Creta.

This topic has been very often used in art history by the old masters. As a European citizen I love this topic for its deep emotional quality. But I also want to use this myth to attract attention to shifts in European politics, which resembles a modern rapt of Europe.

The drawing here is made after L. De Bologne.
