"Philemon et Baucis invitant Jupiter à se reposer" (Philemon and Baucis Inviting Jupiter to Rest) is a painting by the French artist Jean François de Troy, a prominent painter of the late Baroque period. Created in 1727, the artwork is a visual representation of the classical myth of Philemon and Baucis as recounted by the Roman poet Ovid in his work "Metamorphoses." The myth tells the story of an elderly couple, Philemon and Baucis, who show hospitality to the disguised god Jupiter and his son Mercury, who are visiting earth to test the kindness of mortals.

De Troy's interpretation of the tale is characterized by its Rococo style, with a delicate interplay of light and color that captures the moment of the divine encounter. The composition of the painting emphasizes the contrast between the humble abode of the pious couple and the majestic presence of the gods. The artist's attention to detail in the depiction of the figures and the setting reflects the Rococo era's fascination with elegance, ornamentation, and the portrayal of mythological subjects.

Jean François de Troy was a significant figure in the French art scene of the early 18th century, serving as the director of the French Academy in Rome and later as a professor at the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in Paris. "Philemon et Baucis invitant Jupiter à se reposer" is one of his notable works that exemplify his skill in historical and mythological painting, contributing to the understanding of the cultural and artistic context of the period.

The painting is part of the collection of the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where it remains an important example of the mythological themes that were popular among artists and patrons of the Rococo period. Through its depiction of the timeless values of hospitality and reverence for the divine, de Troy's work continues to resonate with audiences and holds a place in the canon of French 18th-century art.
