"Jupiter and Io" is a notable painting by the British artist John Hoppner (1758–1810), who was a prominent portrait painter of the Regency era. While Hoppner is primarily known for his portraits of the British elite, including members of the royal family, "Jupiter and Io" represents a foray into the realm of mythological subjects, which was less common in his body of work. This painting is inspired by the ancient myth from Ovid's Metamorphoses, where Jupiter, the king of the gods, becomes enamored with Io, a nymph, and transforms her into a white heifer to protect her from his jealous wife, Juno.

The artwork is a testament to Hoppner's skill in capturing the human form and his ability to imbue his subjects with a sense of emotional depth and narrative complexity. The painting depicts the moment of Jupiter's seduction or interaction with Io, often portrayed with a sensuousness and intimacy that is characteristic of Romantic interpretations of mythological themes. Hoppner's use of color, light, and composition in "Jupiter and Io" highlights his mastery of painting techniques and his ability to convey the drama and intensity of the mythological story.

Despite being less well-known than his portraits, "Jupiter and Io" is significant for its exploration of mythological themes and its demonstration of Hoppner's versatility as an artist. The painting reflects the broader cultural interest in classical antiquity that was prevalent among the British artistic and literary circles of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. "Jupiter and Io" by John Hoppner not only adds to our understanding of the artist's oeuvre but also provides insight into the period's artistic and cultural preoccupations.
