"Landscape with Jupiter and Io" is a notable work by the 16th-century Italian painter Andrea Schiavone, also known as Andrea Meldolla. This painting is an example of Mannerist art, a style that emerged in the later years of the Italian Renaissance and is characterized by its artificiality, grace, and elegance, often prioritizing style over the natural depiction of figures and landscapes.

The painting depicts the mythological tale of Jupiter and Io from Ovid's "Metamorphoses." In the story, Jupiter, the king of the gods, is enamored with Io, a mortal woman, and to conceal their affair from his wife, Juno, he transforms Io into a heifer. Schiavone's interpretation of the scene captures the moment of transformation or interaction between the two characters, set against a landscape that reflects the Mannerist penchant for unusual spatial compositions and imaginative settings.

Andrea Schiavone's work is known for its dynamic brushwork and rich color palette, which are evident in this painting. The fluidity of his technique contributes to the dreamlike quality of the scene, blurring the lines between the real and the mythological. The landscape serves not only as a backdrop but also as an active element of the narrative, enhancing the emotional and dramatic impact of the mythological event.

"Landscape with Jupiter and Io" is significant in the oeuvre of Andrea Schiavone as it showcases his ability to fuse Venetian colorism with the expressive potential of Mannerism. The painting is an important example of the cross-pollination of artistic ideas in the 16th century, reflecting the influence of both Venetian masters and Central Italian Mannerists.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not known, it is generally attributed to the middle period of Schiavone's career. The work is held in high regard for its artistic merits and as a representation of the mythological themes that were popular among patrons during the Renaissance. It remains an object of study for art historians interested in the Mannerist period and the evolution of European painting.
