EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Coupin de Couprie, titled "Jupiter and Semelee" transports us to the enchanting world of mythology. Created in 1826, this print showcases the artist's exceptional talent for capturing both beauty and emotion. In this scene, we witness a mesmerizing night encounter between Jupiter (also known as Zeus) and Semelee. The god of thunder appears in all his majestic glory, surrounded by an aura of power and authority. His presence is juxtaposed with that of Semelee, a delicate young woman who exudes vulnerability yet possesses an undeniable allure. As their eyes meet under the moonlit sky, it becomes evident that there is a deep connection between these two figures. A magnificent eagle perches on Jupiter's arm, symbolizing his divine nature while also hinting at his role as a protector. The raptor seems to mirror the intensity of their gaze, adding an element of intrigue to the composition. The artist masterfully combines elements of sensuality and mysticism within this engraving. Although nudity is present in the depiction of Semelee, it serves not only as an expression of her physical beauty but also represents her vulnerability when faced with such divine power. Coupin de Couprie's lithograph invites us into a realm where mythological characters come alive through artistry and imagination. It reminds us that even gods can be captivated by human charm and desire – blurring boundaries between mortal existence and ethereal realms.
