THE RAPE OF EUROPA SCULPTURE, LATE 18TH CENTURY

Splendid polychrome porcelain sculpture depicting the abduction of Europa. This work of art takes inspiration from the classical myth in which the god of Olympus, Zeus, transforms himself into a bull to abduct the princess Europa. The figure of Europa is represented as an elegantly dressed young woman, with sandals and semi-collected hair, riding the white bull speckled with brown, which looks at her with a complacent air. This sculpture, made with great skill, is able to enrich any environment in which it is placed with elegance and value. Viennese manufacture from the late 18th century.
