"Europa på Tyren" (English: "Europe on the Bull") is a notable artwork by Gerda Wegener, a Danish illustrator and painter renowned for her Art Nouveau and Art Deco style illustrations. Created in the early 20th century, this work exemplifies Wegener's fascination with classical mythology and her penchant for blending it with modernist sensibilities. The painting is a visual interpretation of the myth of Europa, where Zeus, transformed into a bull, abducts the Phoenician princess Europa.

In Wegener's rendition, the composition typically features Europa astride the bull, capturing the moment of her journey across the sea to Crete, where she would eventually become the eponymous figure of the European continent. The artwork is characterized by its vibrant colors, elegant lines, and a blend of eroticism and whimsy, which are hallmarks of Wegener's broader oeuvre. "Europa på Tyren" not only reflects the mythological subject matter but also showcases Wegener's progressive approach to depicting female figures, often portraying them with a sense of empowerment and agency.

Gerda Wegener's work, including "Europa på Tyren," contributed to the conversation on gender and sexuality in art during a period of significant social change. Her art often celebrated femininity and fluidity of gender roles, themes that were both personal and political, given her life experiences, including her marriage to Lili Elbe, one of the first known recipients of sex reassignment surgery.

As an artist who gained prominence in the Parisian art scene of the 1920s and 1930s, Wegener's "Europa på Tyren" is a testament to her skill in capturing the spirit of her time while engaging with timeless mythological narratives. The painting remains an important piece within Wegener's body of work and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and cultural significance.
