Jupiter and Io
Jupiter fell in love with Io, the lovely daughter of the river god Inachus. The shy nymph tried to flee, but Jupiter spread a dark fog across the land to keep her from escaping so that he could seduce her. The dense atmosphere of their passionate embrace is a beautiful expression of one of the most important pre-
occupations of the Renaissance: the ideal union of man and nature. This is a companion piece to "The Abduction of Ganymede
