OriginalKinky mythology. Jupiter's amorous escapades. Jupiter's passion having sex with women in disguise typifies the unabashed eroticism, radiance, and cool, pearly colors associated with Correggio's best work.
Reason
Used, own article, Google file. The scene is depicting Jupiter seducing Io, a mytological tale... The scene is is inspired by Ovid's classic Metamorphoses. Jupiter was often tempted by other women and took on various disguises in order to cover his various escapades, one time taking the form of a swan, another time of a bull, rain, and in this story a cloud.
