"Jupiter En Mercurius Bij Philemon En Baucis" is a renowned oil painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Jacob Jordaens, created in the 17th century. This artwork illustrates the classical mythological tale from Ovid's "Metamorphoses," where Jupiter, the king of the gods, and Mercury, the messenger, visit Earth in disguise as mortals. They seek hospitality and are turned away by many until the elderly couple Philemon and Baucis offer them shelter and a meal in their humble abode. Upon revealing their divine identities, the gods reward the couple for their kindness by transforming their home into a temple and granting them a wish; they choose to become priests and to die at the same moment so neither has to live without the other.

Jordaens' interpretation of this narrative is characterized by his vigorous painting style, robust figures, and a warm, earthy palette, which contribute to the dynamic and humane representation of the myth. The painting is notable for its depiction of the moment of interaction between the gods and the elderly couple, encapsulating themes of hospitality, piety, and the relationship between the divine and the mortal. Jordaens' work is often compared to that of his contemporaries, Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony van Dyck, yet his approach to this subject matter is distinguished by a particular focus on the realism and moral message of the scene.

The painting is a testament to Jordaens' skill in storytelling through art and serves as an example of the Northern Baroque tradition's engagement with classical antiquity. "Jupiter En Mercurius Bij Philemon En Baucis" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Jacob Jordaens and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural significance within the context of 17th-century Flemish painting.
