"Neptune and Amymone" is a mythological painting by the French artist Carle van Loo (1705–1765), created in 1757. This work of art depicts a scene from Greek mythology involving the sea god Neptune and the mortal woman Amymone, one of the Danaides. According to the myth, Amymone, sent out to find water during a drought, is saved by Neptune from a satyr's assault. In gratitude or by force, depending on the version of the myth, she lies with Neptune and subsequently gives birth to Nauplius, the founder of Nauplia.

Carle van Loo, a prominent painter of the French Rococo era, was known for his classical and historical subjects, as well as his role as a court painter to King Louis XV. "Neptune and Amymone" is a testament to van Loo's skill in capturing the grace and elegance characteristic of Rococo art, with its emphasis on decorative style, light colors, and fluid forms. The painting showcases his adept use of soft brushwork and his ability to convey the opulence and sensuality that were popular in the art of his time.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its representation of the Rococo style, which was prevalent in France during the 18th century. As a court painter, van Loo's works were influential in shaping the tastes of the French aristocracy and contributing to the spread of Rococo art throughout Europe. "Neptune and Amymone" reflects the era's fascination with classical antiquity and mythological themes, which were often used as allegories for contemporary life and as a means of showcasing the artist's skill in depicting the human form and capturing the subtleties of emotion and interaction.

Today, "Neptune and Amymone" is appreciated not only as a work of art but also as a historical document that offers insights into the cultural and artistic milieu of 18th-century France. The painting is housed in a notable museum or private collection, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and artistic beauty.
