In Greek mythology, Europa was a Phoenician princess on whom the supreme god Zeus fell in love and before kidnapping her, Zeus transformed himself into a white bull. When Europa had playfully climbed onto the back of the beautiful, friendly animal, he walked into the sea with her and swam in one piece to the island of Crete, his birthplace.

This mythology can be found in the masterpieces of several world-renowned artists such as:

. The Abduction of Europa (Titian), a painting by Titian from 1559-1562.
. The Abduction of Europa (Veronese, London), a painting by Veronese from ca. 1570 in the National Gallery in London
. The Abduction of Europa (Veronese, Rome), a painting by Veronese from ca. 1581-1584 in the Musei Capitolini in Rome
. The Abduction of Europe (Rembrandt) or The Robbery of Europe, a painting by Rembrandt from 1632
