"Jupiter and Semele" is a 17th-century oil painting by the French artist Bon de Boulogne, also known as Bon Boullogne. The painting depicts the mythological tale of Jupiter, the king of the gods in Roman mythology, and Semele, a mortal woman and priestess of Jupiter. According to the myth, Semele becomes one of Jupiter's lovers, and upon the instigation of a jealous Juno (Jupiter's wife), she requests to see Jupiter in his divine form. Jupiter, bound by an oath to grant her a wish, reveals his true form, and Semele is consumed by his divine fire, leading to her death and the premature birth of her child, Bacchus (Dionysus), the god of wine and ecstasy.

Bon de Boulogne was a prominent figure in French Baroque painting, and his work is characterized by its dynamic composition, dramatic use of light and shadow, and the emotional intensity of the figures. "Jupiter and Semele" exemplifies these qualities, showcasing the artist's skill in rendering the human form and his ability to convey the grandeur of mythological subjects. The painting is noted for its depiction of the powerful god and the tragic mortal woman, capturing the moment of Semele's realization of the consequences of her request.

The artwork is part of Bon de Boulogne's broader oeuvre, which contributed to the development of French academic painting and the grand manner style. His influence extended to his students and the next generation of French artists, as he was a founding member of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in Paris. "Jupiter and Semele" not only reflects the artistic trends of the time but also serves as an example of the cultural and artistic engagement with classical antiquity that was prevalent in the Baroque period.
