"The Rape of Europa" (1740–1750) is a significant work by Italian artist Francesco Zuccarelli a leading figure in the Rococo style. The painting took its theme from Classical mythology, specifically from Ovid's "Metamorphoses". It vividly depicts the abduction of Europa, the princess of Tyre, by the God who takes the form of a white bull.

In addition to its notable visual narrative, the artwork is appreciated for precedent-setting artistic features: the characteristic Rococo luminosity is evident in Zuccarelli's play with shades and light while the typically dense Rococo composition is reflected in the painting's lush, busy foreground, filled with human and animal figures, butting against a calm seascape where Jupiter and the helpless Europa are enacted the central drama.

Zuccarelli's "The Rape of Europa" powerfully reflects the artistic attitudes prevalent during the Rococo period, while also standing as a testament to the artist's own personal style and vision. The painting remains an important piece of his oeuvre and a crucial example of Rococo art as it developed in 18th-century Italy.

It should be mentioned that the painting's title uses the term "rape" in its classical sense, denoting the abduction of Europa, rather than any modern connotations associated with the term. "The Rape of Europa" is a vital example of how mythology was used in art to embody and explore deeper human experiences and concepts through the use of symbol and allegory.
