"Jupiter and Mercury in the House of Philemon and Baucis" is a renowned engraving by Dutch artist Hendrick Goudt, completed in 1612. The artwork is based on a narrative from Ovid's Metamorphoses, where the gods Jupiter and Mercury, disguised as mortals, seek hospitality. They are turned away by many but are eventually welcomed by the impoverished elderly couple, Philemon and Baucis, who offer the best of their humble means. The gods later reveal their true identities and reward the couple for their kindness by transforming their home into a temple.

Goudt's engraving is celebrated for its intricate detail and the effective use of chiaroscuro, which highlights the contrast between the divine light surrounding the gods and the earthly realm of the couple's modest dwelling. This piece not only showcases Goudt’s mastery in engraving but also reflects the Baroque era's fascination with dramatic themes and the exploration of human emotions and divine intervention. The work is significant in the study of Dutch Golden Age art and continues to be analyzed for its artistic and cultural relevance.
