"Philemon and Baucis" is a Renaissance painting created around the year 1500 by the Italian artist Bartolomeo Suardi, commonly known as Bramantino. The work depicts the classical myth of Philemon and Baucis as recounted by the Roman poet Ovid in his "Metamorphoses." According to the myth, the elderly couple Philemon and Baucis showed extraordinary hospitality to the disguised gods Jupiter and Mercury, who were visiting the earth to test the kindness of mortals. In gratitude for their generosity, the gods spared the couple from a punitive flood that struck their region and granted them a wish. The humble pair requested to become priests and guardians of the gods' temple and to die together at the same moment. Upon their death, they were transformed into an intertwining pair of trees.

Bramantino's interpretation of this narrative is characterized by his distinctive style, which merges the Lombard painting tradition with influences from Northern European art and the Italian High Renaissance. The painting is notable for its meticulous attention to detail, harmonious composition, and the serene dignity it imparts to its subjects. Bramantino's use of perspective and his treatment of light and landscape elements reflect the innovative artistic developments of his time.

"Philemon and Baucis" is considered an important work in Bramantino's oeuvre, showcasing his ability to convey complex narratives through visual art. The painting not only serves as a testament to the artist's technical skill but also offers insight into the cultural and philosophical preoccupations of the Renaissance period, particularly the humanist interest in classical antiquity.

The painting is held in high regard for its contribution to the understanding of Renaissance art and its reflection of the era's intellectual and artistic currents. As a significant piece from the early 16th century, "Philemon and Baucis" continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and its embodiment of the timeless themes of hospitality, piety, and transformation.
