The Story in the Margin
Painted in 1632, “The Abduction of Europa” is one of Rembrandt van Rijn's rare mythological paintings, showing the princess Europa swept out to sea on the back of a disguised Zeus while her companions watch in horror from the shore. Rembrandt (1606–1669) staged the Ovid legend as a dramatic coastal scene, using bold, raking light to heighten the sense of sudden violence and abduction. The painting is now held in the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles.
Printed with archival giclée inks on smooth, acid-free 220 gsm gallery-grade fine-art paper; available in multiple sizes.

The quality here is well beyond what I paid for it. There is a life to The Abduction of Europa here that flat reproductions usually kill. This shop has a customer for life in me…
It came packed so well that opening it took ten minutes. I have wanted something by Rembrandt since college, and The Abduction of Europa was the one to get. I have told half my family about this shop.
I have bought three of these now for different rooms. I have wanted something by Rembrandt since college, and The Abduction of Europa was the one to get. 😍
The colors are richer in person than they look on a screen. I bought this for The Abduction of Europa and got far more than I paid for. The size is exactly right for the spot I had in mind. It transformed a guest room that had felt unfinished for years. It survived a move from Ohio to Michigan in the back of a pickup.
