This scene from Book VI of Ovid´s Metamorphosis, shows the god Jupiter´s seduction of the nymph, Antiope. This very beautiful nymph was seduced by the Lord of Olympus, who took the form of a satyr for the occasion. Pierre depicts the moment of the initial trickery, when Antiope abandons herself in Jupiter´s embrace. The plasticity of the figures and the pastel color scheme are outstanding, and raise the sensual character of this composition. This work is the companion to Diana and Callisto (P03217).
