"Jupiter and Antiope" is a renowned engraving by the Dutch printmaker Hendrick Goltzius, completed in 1612. This work is part of Goltzius's larger body of mythological and allegorical engravings that reflect the Mannerist style prevalent in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The engraving depicts the mythological tale of Jupiter, the king of the gods in Roman mythology, who, enamored by the beauty of the mortal woman Antiope, disguises himself as a satyr to seduce her while she sleeps.

The composition of "Jupiter and Antiope" is notable for its intricate detailing and dynamic interplay of forms, characteristic of Goltzius's virtuosic engraving technique. The work showcases his ability to render textures, from the softness of flesh to the roughness of fur, with exceptional finesse. Goltzius's use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, adds a dramatic intensity to the scene, highlighting the figures and emphasizing the sensuality of the subject.

Goltzius, who was also a draftsman and painter, had a significant influence on the development of Dutch printmaking. His prints were widely disseminated and admired for their technical brilliance and innovative compositions. "Jupiter and Antiope" exemplifies Goltzius's mastery of the engraving medium and his contribution to the visual interpretation of classical mythology during the Northern Renaissance.

The engraving is held in various museum collections and has been the subject of scholarly analysis, particularly regarding its place within the context of Northern Mannerism and the cultural milieu of the Dutch Golden Age. "Jupiter and Antiope" continues to be recognized as a significant work of art that reflects the complex interplay of eroticism, mythology, and artistic skill in early modern European printmaking.
