"Jupiter and Mercury in the House of Philemon and Baucis" is a renowned engraving by the Dutch Golden Age artist Hendrick Goudt, created in 1612. The work is based on a painting by Adam Elsheimer, a German artist with whom Goudt worked closely during his time in Rome. The engraving depicts a scene from Ovid's "Metamorphoses," where the Roman 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 them what little they have. As a reward for their kindness, the gods reveal their true identities and save the couple from a flood that destroys the surrounding area, transforming their humble abode into a temple.

Goudt's work is notable for its intricate detail and the masterful use of chiaroscuro, which reflects the influence of Caravaggio's dramatic lighting, a characteristic of the Baroque period. The engraving is a testament to Goudt's skill in translating Elsheimer's complex, nocturnal scenes into the medium of print, and it played a significant role in disseminating Elsheimer's compositions throughout Europe. "Jupiter and Mercury in the House of Philemon and Baucis" is considered one of Goudt's masterpieces and is an important example of the collaboration between painters and printmakers in the early 17th century. The work is held in high esteem for its artistic merit and its contribution to the spread of Baroque aesthetics beyond Italy's borders.
