Jupiter and Antiope is a 1856 oil by Edouard Manet, a Realism work, held at Musée Marmottan Monet.
In this painting, a man and a woman are depicted in a lush outdoor setting. The man, wearing a dark tunic and a cloak draped over his shoulder, stands to the left of the woman, who is reclining on the ground, wearing a white dress. The woman's head rests on her right arm, and her left arm is bent, with her hand near her face. A small dog is positioned near the woman's head. The background of the painting features trees, a body of water, and a mountain range in the distance. The sky above is blue with white clouds. The overall atmosphere of the painting appears to be one of serenity and tranquility. If you're interested in learning more about the artist behind this work, look up Édouard Manet.
