"Jupiter and Semele" is an oil painting by the Frenchist artist Gustave Moreau. Completed in 1895, the painting is largely revered as one of Moreau's most complex and mature works. The seminal piece reflects Moreau's fascination with Biblical and mythological symbolism and is based on the Greek myth of Jupiter and Semele, where Semele, a mortal woman, became the lover of Jupiter, the king of the gods.

In the portrayed, Semele dies when Jupiter reveals his divine form to her, being unable to bear the sight of his godly radiance. Moreau's depiction diverges from traditional renditions of this myth; instead of depicting Semele's death, Moreau chooses to immortalize the moment of revelation itself, with Jupiter appearing in an explosion of bizarre and fantastic forms, and Semele gazing in stunned awe and terror. The painting stands as a symbol of transformation and the inevitable tragic outcome of mortal and divine intersections.

The intricate level of detail of the painting is indicative of Moreau's meticulous craftsmanship. The painting is teeming with surreal and fantastical creatures, celestial bodies, and fragments of architecture, woven together in a grandiose tapestry-like effect. The depiction of Jupiter is particularly notable for its complex symbolism, as he contains myriad forms within him, acting as a microcosm of the heavens, embodying divine omnipresence and incomprehensibility.

"Jupiter and Semele" is currently housed in the Gustave Moreau Museum in Paris, France. As a remarkable testament of Gustave Moreau's exploration of the mythic and symbolic in art, this painting remains one of the most captivating interpretations of the ancient myth.
