"Jupiter and Mercury at Philemon and Baucis" is a renowned oil on copper painting created by the German artist Adam Elsheimer between 1609 and 1610. This work is celebrated for its intricate depiction of the classical myth from Ovid's "Metamorphoses," where the gods Jupiter and Mercury visit Earth in disguise to test the hospitality of mortals. They are ultimately welcomed by the elderly couple Philemon and Baucis, who offer them shelter and a meal, despite their own poverty.

Elsheimer's rendition of this tale is notable for its masterful use of chiaroscuro and its detailed portrayal of the natural world, which reflects the artist's keen interest in naturalism and the effects of light. The painting's small scale, typical of Elsheimer's oeuvre, belies the complexity of its composition and the depth of its narrative. The work is also significant for its influence on other artists of the time, particularly in the way it combines landscape with storytelling, a technique that would inspire many Baroque painters.

Currently housed in the Städelsches Kunstinstitut in Frankfurt, Germany, "Jupiter and Mercury at Philemon and Baucis" is considered one of Elsheimer's masterpieces and an important example of early 17th-century European art. The painting's meticulous attention to detail, both in the figures and the surrounding environment, along with its atmospheric lighting, exemplifies Elsheimer's innovative approach to painting and his ability to convey complex, multi-layered stories within a single frame.
