Raub der Europa
1850
From the collection of Art Collection of the University Göttingen
Raub der Europa is a 1850 by Unknown, depicting Wood, held at Art Collection of the University Göttingen.
This oval painting shows a group of people in a watery scene. A woman floats on a shell while a man stands on it, holding a rope. Below, another woman leans on a man who’s holding a fish. A child and a dog are near them, and a winged figure flies above. The background has hills and trees, all framed in a fancy gold border. The painting looks like it’s about a story from myths. The shell and flying figure might hint at something magical or divine. Next, check out the Museum of Ethnography to see more works like this.
